The Cockney Walks
United Kingdom
Приєднався 12 січ 2022
Hello my name is Terry, welcome to my channel 👋🏻
I am autistic and my interests are history, photography, flying my drone, and filming my walks in various cities and towns. On this channel you will find a mixture of videos that I hope you will find entertaining. I upload videos of my walks, my drone footage, old cine films, and anything I think people might find interesting. I used to live in East London, but now I live in Norfolk, hence the Cockney part of my channel name.
Thank you for dropping by 🙂

Great Yarmouth Summer 2024 | Regent Road Walk
Great Yarmouth Summer 2024.
In this video I take a walk up Regent Road in Great Yarmouth, I start out at Britannia Pier and walk along past the many shops and stalls that sell a variety of stuff from Bucket and Spades to Fish and Chips. Great Yarmouth is a very popular holiday destination for many people, and there are many caravan sites and hotels in the town to accommodate for the influx of the summer tourism.
I also walk around the Market Square where work is currently being carried out, but you can still access all the main shops and stalls in the square, and the Market Gates Shopping Centre. Great Yarmouth is a Seaside Town where many people have been going on holiday for generations. I hope you enjoy the walk. Recorded August 2024.
- **History**: Great Yarmouth has a rich history dating back to at least the 11th century. It was a significant port town, known for its herring fishing industry, which led to it being called the "Great Yarmouth" to distinguish it from other Yarmouths.
- **Geography**: It's located at the mouth of the River Yare, which explains part of its name. The town is built on a peninsula between the North Sea and the River Yare, Breydon Water, and the River Bure.
- **Economy**: Historically, fishing was the backbone of its economy, but today, tourism plays a significant role. The town features a long, sandy beach, a pier, and various attractions like the Sea Life Centre and the Time and Tide Museum, which focuses on the history of the town and its maritime heritage.
- **Culture and Events**: Great Yarmouth hosts several events throughout the year, including the Great Yarmouth Festival, which celebrates local culture, music, and arts. The town also has a vibrant nightlife, especially during the summer months when it attracts many tourists.
- **Landmarks**:
- **Great Yarmouth Minster**: One of the largest parish churches in England, it's known for its impressive architecture.
- **The Britannia Monument**: A 100-foot-high monument commemorating Admiral Lord Nelson, who was born nearby in Burnham Thorpe.
- **The Wellington Pier**: A popular spot for tourists offering amusement arcades, food outlets, and views of the sea.
- **Transport**: Great Yarmouth has a railway station connecting it to other parts of the UK. The A47 road also links it to Norwich and the wider road network. The town's port remains active, though more for freight and ferry services rather than fishing.
- **Education**: The town has several educational institutions, including Great Yarmouth Charter Academy and East Coast College, which provides further education and vocational training.
- **Challenges**: Like many coastal towns in the UK, Great Yarmouth faces issues related to coastal erosion, economic regeneration, and social deprivation in some areas. Efforts are ongoing to revitalize the town.

Love the red double decker busses. I find the outdoor food vendors interesting. In America we have food trucks, but not street vendors. At least where I live.
