The sad decline of British seaside towns 🇬🇧
Throughout the Victorian era up until the late 1990s, British seaside towns and their respective resorts were thriving. They brought in millions into the British economy and employed millions more.
However, domestic travel became saturated, taxed and expensive while international travel became more affordable. Consequently the towns that used to thrive off British tourism, declined.
Today we explore the town of Eastbourne in East Sussex to see if life has gotten any better here.

Hastings has been consistently ranked as the most deprived town in Sussex. It also has the highest crime rate in all of Sussex. Naturally I wanted to give it a visit. We explore the tourist sights, the backstreets and the town centre. In this video we check out the town to see what it's really like. ⬜ Want to see my other UK videos?

    you avoided the main town center and indoor shopping center and any decent part was obviously edited out to make Eastbourne look far worse than it is. eastbourne has better shopping than hastings. Eastbourne has pretty much the same retail stores as any major high street, such as next, river island, m and s, prime mark. where was this in your video ?. every town has good and bad parts all over the country.Also all the seafront hotels were not included.

    The New Labour inspired Conservatives bent over backwards continuously to be a centrist party appealing to everyone, betrayed their voters while they were still just smeared as fascist by their extremist rivals. Now Labour will bear the burden of governing and compromise continuously on their principles to cling to power. They'll use culture wars to radicalize their voter base and hide the constitutional reforms they're planning on implementing to reduce democracy and freedoms.
