Bad Vibes In Deprived Seaside Town 🇬🇧

Great Yarmouth is a seaside town on the East coast of England in Norfolk. It is synonymous with classic British seaside tourism, and one of the original holiday resorts in the country. The town's seafront, know as 'the golden mile, attracts millions of visitors annually to its amusements and vast golden beach. The truth, however, is that Great Yarmouth is now a town in decline and is suffering from harsh deprivation. Much of the work available is very seasonal and the lack of year round work results in much poverty for many. I decided to visit the town in the 'off season' to see what life is really like for the people that live there. I discovered a troubled and decaying town where angry locals are not happy with the faded reality of this once great seaside town in 2024.

    • I appreciate the tourism pitch but, these leisure facilities are priced out of most of the locals' budget The new pool's admission fee is over double. The outer harbour that doesn't benefit the average local? Damp council houses, if you're one of the lucky ones. Instrument wielding teenagers robbing everything on wheels in Gorleston and Caister. All of this with a healthcare system rivalling a teddy bear's picnic in organisation skills. Meanwhile there's lots of new and shiny cars parked outside the Town Hall. In fairness, the council do provide employment to over 10000000 gardeners just not that many cleaners.....

  • Great Yarmouth has a wonderful beach, pier and promenade. It is let down by a lack of original shops and, not to be unkind, substandard accommodation. People's expectations are higher nowadays but if you are going to pay £60 a night for a room then you shouldn't have mismatched furniture and an outdated bathroom in your hotel room. Local businesses struggle because the council does not invest sufficiently in the town to make it a desirable destination. But I still visit every year because I love the sea and I know these businesses need our custom. Fish and chips are fabulous and there is also a great Vietnamese restaurant. Great Yarmouth could be an absolute jewel.

What he said about people accepting that there are only jobs for 8 months of the year is true. There's absolutely nothing there. At least 90% of people are on the dole. If you live in Yarmouth you've admitted that there's no point in you being alive. I left in 2016 to join the Army and basically never went back. I did have a few months there last year just to see, and never again. Everyone is just on the dole and selling drugs. They think it's good to be like that. Disgusting mess.

  • Poor Great Yarmouth suffered a number of catastrophes. Once one of the great commercial ports of England (amazing surviving architecture here and there). The war did huge damage, the planners finished that off afterwards. The Herring (remember it was massive fishing port) were overfished and went away. Finally, as a holiday destination it struggles with package deals. Yet still, it has possibilities.

  • I'd be interested to see you do one of these in a well loved seaside town. I know the point it to detail deteriarion, but I think it would still be interesting. I live around the coast in Cromer. Sure, it's a little shabby in parts, but even on a drab winter Monday, it's still very busy with a constant through flow of people. I would imagine quizing the locals here would garner a very different response to the responses around Yarmouth.

  • I have lived in Yarmouth for about 3 years now. Love the history of the town (every street seems to have a blue plaque) shame that many of the inhabitants seem unaware of that history and you look at pictures of the town in its heyday and think "what happened?" That said, the locals are all nice, some are a bit rough around the edges but you can hardly blame them for what is the result of years of neglect from politicans etc The sea front is still lovely to walk down (though I tend to walk away from the "golden mile" with all the tacky amusement arcades) and in summer I can think of nowhere else I would rather be, the town really comes to life, fireworks every Wednesday evening, events during the day, the town full of holidaymakers
