As a kid in the late 1850;s I often went from my home town of Scunthorpe to Cleethorpes for many a dy trip. I back then thought that Seaside railways stations were next to the beach as in Cleethorpes.I left Scunthorpe in the mid to late 1960 and I think the last time i was there was 1966. I now live in Essex (Brentwood) and Southend Victoria station is about a mile from the sea.

We went to Cleethorpes a few years back (Summer just before pandemic) as we had to pick up some scaffold parts from Grimsby and found it ok, the fish and chips were fine and not too expensive and we tried a couple of bars on the front which again reasonable price, not a rip off like some seaside resorts😎 Gaz Yorkshire coast.

It used to be wonderful before it had that dreadful phase of so called improvements! Modernisation can be ruination! I particularly loved an out door lido as a kid. It was a seawater one with stepped seating and on the front. The walks along the prom looked inviting with well kept gardens and little lace curtained cafes sold cuppas with saucers and tables had pretty cloths. The teas on offer were sandwiches such as egg and cress freshly made and assorted cakes and pastries, again hand made. A lot of hard work and thoroughness was the reason it was so special, and the shops behind the front were smart and well stocked, an inviting temptation for shoppers and browsers.

Hello! Local resident here!! For families there are arcades, boating lake, cinema, tenpin bowling, indoor play centre, donkey rides (!), leisure centre and the steam train (did you miss this??!!); this is apart from the activities laid on at the holiday parks (at the end of the beach, where those lovely people were recommending you walk), though you have to stay there to get in. There is an open top bus that goes along the seafront all the way to the parks during the summer too. Meridian Park (just next to the Signal Box Inn you visited) often has events on throughout the year too - fairs and gigs etc. Cleethorpes is a great family friendly resort and it's cheap too! A good Sunday lunch on the promenade can be had for around £9 (The Punch Bowl), top class fish and chips for around the same price (see Ernie Becketts and Steels in the Market Square). Don't be put off by the negative press peeps! Welcome to Cleethorpes!!

You will enjoy the Armed Forces Weekend fella. It's usually buzzing. If you're up for a longer walk , can take a hike to Tetney Lock. Nice pub there which does awesome food. Used to go down there as kid and back but last time, I was too knackered to walk back. Fortunately, my aunt lives that way. There is a bus but it doesn't run very often. Nowt much in Grimsby but there's a great museum in under the Town Hall and the fishing Heritage museum is worth a look. Cleethorpes (or Meggies as we call it) is much maligned but as that fella said, it's not a bad looking place. Shame, some people want to destroy things though. Steels is one of the most popular Fish ''n' chip places. It's like walking back to the 60s. There are plenty of other choices though. For brekkie, Browns has always been good value for money.

Yeah, as you said it's the same story for all these resorts over the UK obviously the biggest factor was the package holidays in the 70s/80s, but the biggest culprit for the neglect and allowing them to fall into such disrepair is the local councils.. They seem to have plenty of money to invest in hairbrained stupid schemes that will attract no-one whatsoever but ignore the real problems and allow them to fester beyond repair

Great video Dean and it's nice to see Phill after all these years (Korea Plt Feb 1995) I recently reached out to my first section commander: Cpl S Hayter PWRR to thank him for all that he did for me. He was a very firm but extremely fair, approachable leader. As a 16 year old recruit this guy was the first real inspirational male character in my life. He was as strong as an ox and always carried far more weight than us recruits. S Hayter helped inspire me to grow into the adult I aspired to be aided by some strong leaders within Battalion. Thanks again for the walk down memory lane. Keep Attacking Phill 🟥🟨

This brought back some memories. Stayed here for 3 nights in 2016. They gave us a room without a window when checking in and this was a cock-up on their part. That room was grim and had probably been a storage room/accommodation for staff originally I’d imagine. Not really fit for paying guests. I’d definitely booked a room with a window but the first member of staff who dealt with us wasn’t helpful at all and insisted no other rooms available. However, after 1 night we showed the booking confirmation to another member of staff, who was very apologetic and put us in a nicer room with a window. The second room’s decor was-much like room 819 but the bath was just a standard one. I remember thinking the gym and pool were decent.

Reliant engine size evolved from an early Austin side valve 750 to a 600ohv, a 700, a 750 and lastly an 850. OHV units were entirely Reliant produced. All alloy cast block & head.
