- I visit Jaywick, a coastal town known for being one of the most deprived areas in the UK. I check out the housing situation, walk along the front and most importantly get into a dingy pub. Join ME!

searching for a pint in Luton! - ua-cam.com/video/cbG8dEu6w4A/v-deo.html
You’re an I’m tube “leach” take a seat .
The Martello towers were built to warn of a French invasion. I deliver to Jaywick and really like the place. It's different!
You aren’t related to abl reselling are you? You’ve got a look
And sound like him lol . 👍🏻
The amusements is now a pub. Mum now lives down there, lovely people very much a forgotten and brushed under the carpets by Essex and Clacton Council
Fascinating. I love this channel, especially the pub crawls.
Cheers pal 👍
Having one pint in one pub is hardly a pub crawl
I know Jaywick resembles a post apocalyptic campsite but I can think of far worse places to live. A lot of the shacks have character - they overlook the sea and beach. It’s coastal and has amusements, pubs and shops nearby. I can think of places in the middle of industrial estates far from good scenery inland with overpopulated council housing sprawl, motorways, mosques etc.I’ve never understood why Jaywick is considered worse - it actually looks ok.
Good clean sea air, far better than a lot of places I know
The rough area you first walked around is called Brooklands and all the roads are named after car marques. The area behind the buildings was flooded by the original land owners back in the 50's I think with the idea of having a large boating lake as part of the holiday home rentals. Unfortunately it drained away and after numerous attempts they gave up. I lived in Jaywick on Golf Green Road, the main road as you drive out, 25yrs ago and it wasn't as run down as it is now. Shame really. I live in Cornwall now, a world away in comparison. And the woman who said there were amusements a 25 min walk away meant along the sea front and into Clacton on Sea but only about 15 mins at the speed you walk !! I worked in the local job centre and it faced out onto the main road in Clacton. One day a builders van pulled up and a young guy in overalls covered in paint ran across to the job centre, came in and signed his not working doc and went back to work !! Hahahh... did make me laugh and I didn't bother mentioning it to the hierarchy. :)
You should have done!
At some time a memo went round telling people to take the adage *_"Only fools & horses work"_* literally but I missed that & been out doing the best part of 60 hours a week for 35 years to enable every fecker to do it!
You had a responsibility & an actual instruction to bubble him up - you should have done! 😠
I was just thinking that about the road names. Nice to see the Hillman one. I drive a 1972 Hillman Avenger.
My mate used to live there I used to get drunk at the local disco house can’t remember the name that was back in 1990
Thank you for acknowledging the system. WORK THE SYSTEM, it's there to be worked.
@@johnconlin6508
You mean you do some work?
Id take Jaywick over an inner city high rise , least its got the sea .
The fewer people that know about Jaywick, the better for the residents.
I would not want to see this lovely part of Essex destroyed by corporate vultures and construction companies selling properties way over price to people from London.
Let’s keep Jaywick to ourselves.
@@monk3yboy69 The tax payer. Working people like me, prop up Jaywick and it's scroungers. People with no jobs and nothing to do. Yet they still can't tidy up the area. Which would attract work and business.
👍
But at least THERE FKN ENGLISH ,SO I TAKE IT YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE 7 MILLION SCROUNGING NON NEVER PAYED TAX MIGRENTS .
SO WITCH ONE ARE YOU ...?
@@monk3yboy69 I agree, i live just up the road from Jaywick. I would never go back to London, Jaywick is lovely.
Looks better than alot of housing estates...
Cheers for doing all this traveling to bring us great content mate your channel is top 👍👍
Cheers pal. Really appreciate it 👍
I used to go there when I was a kid on holiday i loved it but it has really changed. Im going to go there on a rainy grey day and get some moody black and white photos, I've heard the people there are friendly enough, great channel you have mate.
Do it mate. It's great location for moody photography pal. Cheers mate
Used to spend half my summer hoildays in Jaywick, would of been about 50 yrs ago first time I visited , my Nan an Grandad bought a bungalow down there,
Remember the Never Say die, Mary's fish an chips , Dots the newsagent an gift shop , I loved it ,
Used to hate coming back to London,
Then I moved to Clacton, an used to visit Jaywick, far cry from what it used to be , the quaintness long gone , once Pristine holiday chalets an bungalows stand dishevelled, the cheery pensioners, longgone ,
Needs investment!
Cracking work mate. Just found your channel and I love the content, right up my street! Keep up the good work.
Get in, was only hoping for a lunchtime drink!! Nice one, you're a natural at this mate, brilliant.
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
What amazes me is that you content creators always document the worst parts (brooklands ect) you havnt documented the beautiful beachside holiday homes on air b&b or the homeowners that take pride in their properties . I moved to clacton from Hertfordshire 4 years ago and been in Jaywick for over a year now . Yes there’s issues but far less than other places I’ve lived as the population is so small. Everyone keeps themselves to themselves and we help each other unlike almost every other place in the county . We have a community so incredible it’s heartwarming . We have a food bank that prevents people going hungry , litter pickers , dog friendly beach , incredible views & lovely people . Yes there’s lots of homes run down but most of that is due to owners planning renovations , can’t afford them or simply can’t be bothered . Jaywick is not just one estate seen on a tv show years ago it’s approx a 2 mile radius of a beautiful place with beautiful people - the fact content creators always see the negative and document the negative brings the place down further . In all fairness it doesn’t matter as people hating Jaywick allows residents to enjoy it further but having negative people OUT . No snobbery , no judgement , just people living alongside each other in peace and harmony with nothing but the best intentions , yes there may be a few bad just like everywhere else yet far less / how UNFORTUNATE . Not .
I know where I’ll be staying
What you said is absolutely correct , these I’m tubers are only after likes not the truth people like him are leaches.👍
Na it’s an absolute dump mate
Good for you
His channel is weird. I really wouldn't worry what he shows on it.
great that you're happy there mate and long may it last!
Looks like a shanty town.
I know Jaywick and I know many people that live there. Yes it is poverty stricken, but you will not find anywhere in the country that has a strength in community spirit like the residents of Jaywick!
They are amazing people with amazing stories to tell in how they try and overcome some horrendous circumstances in life.
I will defend the people of jaywick all day every day!
AND so would I seaport the great people of Jay wicked 😅😅😅
Got to say the locals seem friendly. They really need the local council to help them out, its almost like theyve been forgotten. At least they get good weather!@
Yeh forgotten is the word mate. Shame init. Good job they get good weather
Council woent help the British, only scrounging migrents ,give em our best homes ,free money education ,medical credit free motors, free road tax ,free dentists, you hot to arrive in a rubber boat sli g your passport in river along with your phones, and identity then you get it all for nothing
I understand poverty , been surrounded by it the best part of my life but did something about it and now mortgage free.
The thing that always gets me having debt collected on some of the UK's worst estates is that just like Jaywick so many still have cars parked outside their homes/sheds.
My first home was a council flat and I walked 2.5 miles to work , walked about 10 miles a day knocking on doors then another hours walk home doing another 2.5 miles...so about 15 miles a day in all weather for around 10 hours , if anyone needed a car I did but more than that I wanted a future.
I reckon somewhere along the line society lost the plot.
Awesome vlog as always my friend 👍
Good read that pal. Alot of people don't like to put effort in anymore. I admire your dedication 👍
Nice vids. 1991 to 1998 i lived in clacton , used to go to jaywick a lot , it was worse then ,it was called a shanty town and them towers are called martello towers. Quite a few of em spread along the coast . Next to jaywick is St Osyth. They have nudist beach. Just sayin....
I love this channel it always makes me laugh especially with your dry sense of humour , a couple of things stood out today , the walled in Motor Home and the 1970's fruit machines in that run down Amusement Arcade with some of the letters missing Classic , you should try Workington next in Cumbria i went last week and i saw a bloke with a screwdriver sticking out of his head , Brilliant fun 👍👍👍
Jesus 🤣 that deffo seems worth a visit!....and cheers mate 👍
I bet that fella gets great wifi.
My Auntie used to live at the top of Riley Avenue. Stayed there a few times in the caravan she had in the garden beside her house.
Did you enjoy your times there?
My Auntie was from London. It was a nice break in all fairness. Trying to think of what the pub was called we frequently went in. Last time I went there was the late 90’s so it’s probably changed quite a bit (or not)
Back in the 70's we had a family friend who owned one of these chalets in Hillman ave remember having holidays there. Just around the corner was a pub called the Mermaid inn ( closed down now ) which was ok back then. I've been back there a couple of times due to work back in the early 2000's and couldn't believe how run down the place had become.
I like Jaywixk, never been, but could think of worst places being stuck
Deffo be boss on a hot day 👍
Yes like any where in England, cos there's no English left any where ,give me jaywick any day ,it's safer
@@jean2740What you talking about .loads of English still about. Everyone is English where i live . Different in Cities always has been.
Some of those houses dont look bad to be fair, shame the council cant tidy it all up a bit, least you got a Guinness!
Nah, just needs abit of tlc the whole area. Guinness was suprisingly ok
Nah council help only migrents
I love these videos, they make me homesick!
Where you at now?
@@honestplaces Budapest, Hungary. You should come have a look around. I can show some proper dives! 😁
@@owenharmon6084brilliant city. Love it. “It’s kicking off”
I remember a program about Jaywick im sure it was on channel 5 many years ago. Yes it looks rough but majority of UK looks rough around rhe edges but it always has the same sort of people friendly that make you feel welcome.
Yeh the people seem sound 👍
Shame you posted only the grass parts of our beautiful sandy white beach.Behind the never say die you could have visited the Beach bar82 n had a full English breakfast or lunch or ice-cream deserts at tables on the beach . Had you gone in next to the arcade you'd have found lively Eldorado's pub where there's always things laid on Inc food. I've lived here 28 yrs n love the community spirit .locals will always help anyone that needs it and celebrate any occasion with like-minded people. Most properties are owned by locals . The rundown ones are mostly now owned by council who just leave them until get planning for flats! They aren't building for locals ! There are no council properties for rent at affordable rents in village! When you do these videos , PLEASE TALK TO LOCALS AND SHOW THE GOOD PARTS!! YOU COME HERE TO RUN US DOWN WHICH IS SO WRONG. TRY LOOKING FOR THE GOOD AS WELL WELL AS THE UGLY AND POST AN HONEST REVIEW. LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL BE UPSET OVER THIS REVIEW ! THERE ARE A HELL OF A LOT OF GOOD, KIND PEOPLE IN JAYWICK THAT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR OTHERS. SUGGEST YOU DELETE THIS REVIEW . COME BACK AT A WEEKEND AND DO ANOTHER REVIEW. WHEN YOU Will SEE A WHOLE DIFFERENT VIEW . PEOPLE DO WORK HERE DURING THE WEEK HENCE WHY PUB WAS EMPTY.😢
I loved that show ,was sad when it ended wasn't fake people where real, and dirt poor
Anyone else here addicted to the Honest Places channel like i am? Top content in every video.
Yes. Been on this channel a month or so, great content.
Makes me keen to do my own little wanderings to places near me, if I have a day.
New subscriber. Used to have a thing going when i worked away a lot, where id try to find the areas roughest boozer and have a pint. Most of the time it went well....too old for that now though!
Ill let you do it instead😂😂
Great vid.
Ah nice one. Hard day out there. But a new honest places to watch when I'm home. ✌️🏴
🤣 how is the weather up there?
@@honestplaces Today the sun was out but it was blowing a gale!! 😂 Yesterday rain and probably some rain tomorrow too. 😂😂✌️
Big fan of this channel.nice one mate
Cheers pal. Really appreciate it 👍
Great video. I always wondered what Jaywick was like. The pub looks proper pony.
Cheers pal. It was the only pub there
Some of the buildings look decent, i noticed one with a cracking big balcony
Looks good to me, I've been homeless twice and would have loved to have a home there. Some people have ideas of grandeur, makes me sick!
Glad you're doing alright now pal👍
@honestplaces Thanks, everything is ok now. I never forget though.
In the 80's at Leeds Poly half a dozen of us used to crawl round the city pubs. One night down a dimly lit ginnel we saw a gloomy looking pub. It took a while to convince everyone to venture in. In we went, three or four "gangster types" sat at the bar. They couldn't believe six students had the balls to go in, but were really pleased we had. Had a smashing hour with them. The Whip!
I love watching you, you defo give off Karl Pilkington vibes!!!
Still dunno how to take that 🤣
It’s definitely a compliment,. Your a say it as it is, dry sense of humour., down to earth bloke. You make me laugh!
@@Ferret247 well cheers pal. appreciate that
Haha I get the same vibe
Think it’s the head like an orange and the Accent
£3.50 not bad these days considering they charge 10 euro in dublin
Mate i know! Gotta find the local joints in Ireland
You have to come to some of the early house pubs in Dublin ruff but good people !!
You can get €5 Guinness in pubs outside temple bar
Wow
4.33 looks like a Martello tower you get them in the South coast Sussex round Eastbourne, great 👍 video bud
Can't beat a rough pub, I used to live in Leeds but moved out about 20 years ago to York, one of the things I miss most are the rough boozers and chatting to the dodgy characters. They are the friendliest when you get to know them.
York is boss for pubs. But yeh rough and dingy pubs are always a vibe!
After they have stuck one on you and picked you up.😅😅
@@samual3006 Only ended up in hospital once 😂
*You got Cockrot,,, dont spread it any further,,,,,,,,,,,,,scabby hole
Nags head / regent / madhouse / vine / 3 legs / Duncan 😉
0:05 I haven't seen a random shopping trolley in someone's front garden since the early 2000s!! always knew you was in a rough area when you started seeing that lol
This is, UK grim. Fantastic video as always mate. I never knew Jaywick existed.
Cheers pal. Odd place but folks are sound
You can really see how it used to be a "getaway" location. Small houses right next to the ocean, thin paths but you can imagine it bustling with people on holiday enjoying the summer. Such a shame how it's ended up and seemingly been forgotten about by the local councils. Potential there for sure. Hopefully one day some very rich person goes and changes it all for them.
Have a few pints in the Never Say Die pub walk the short distance to the sea look across and if you’re feeling fit you can swim over to Margate
Essex to Kent across the estuary
The opening shots were of travellers' homes and that pub serves travellers who have been barred from other pubs for fighting (I haven't seen them fighting in there to be fair)
Didn't know that 😬😬
I ran a drug treatment drop in centre in Clacton, with a branch in Jaywick about 15 years ago - the people are great. It's got its problems Jaywick has but I love the place and still work there sometimes. Happy days. Nice vid, respectful.
Mate i could watch ur uploads all day 😊
I'll take that 🤣 cheers
Loving the Videos dude keep it up
Cheers pal 👍
I've delivered to Jaywick several times. Really friendly people.
100%
That's a Martello tower. They're all around Ireland's east coast as well.
I love them
@@honestplacesYou can visit the tower in Jaywick I think it's a quid to get in.. maybe you could have spotted a half decent boozer from the roof😊 plus the reason the tower looks rough at the mo they are doing work on the sea defences it's costing millions.. 😊
nice video, look forward to seeing whats kicking off in the next one.
Cheers pal 🤣
My cousin is from Jaywick thank you for the video
Gets too much of a bad rep
Great vid thanks
Cheers pal 👍
Your vids are always really interesting. I've moved away from the UK, been away about 14 years now, but every time I see a video like this I can't help but feel a little depressed at how bad some places have become.
Where you live now pal?
@@honestplaces Was in Shanghai but now in Japan mate
7:04 they're playing Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow song Stargazer, great Dio vocals
Classic
Another great video, no pretension at all. Love it. Please try Gravesend if you can, I've recently visited a relative over there and immediately thought Honest Places needs to come here. A few pubs you may want to try if you do:
The Railway Bell
The Somerset aArms
The Foresters Arms
The George Inn
Elephants Head
The Wheatsheaf
The Prince Albert
The Pelham Arms
🤣🤣 i'll have to research it pal 👍 nice one
i live about 7 miles away and remember a time when the "houses" in jaywick were up for sale as buy one get one free
Ive seen far worse places. Bet there are a lot of decent folk there.
Me too. Yeh they are always decent folk 👍
That was a ghost town 😂😂 another great review mate roll on the next one 🎉🎉
Good pub though 🤣 cheers pal
@@honestplaces those sort of pubs am the best pubs unfortunately they are a dying breed
Great name for a pub 👍🏽
You know it!
Hi great videos what do you use to old your go pro to backpack 🎒 thanks.
Homemade strap 🤣
Brilliant vids pal loving them , why don’t you see what’s cracking off down the wirral area I live in Chester way but loads of pubs and dodgy estates round certain places in Wirral 👊🏼
It aint far from me that. Deffo a shout. Cheers pal
It is a Martinez Tower and there is a string of them all along the south coast to maybe portsmoufh? To keep Napoleon at bay. Many have been turned into homes - i know the one in Dymchurch, kent. Some just left like this one.
Deffo a nice touch keeping them as is 👍
Martello tower not matinez
So sad to see went to jaywick in the 60s family holidays beach great used to walk along the front into Clacton well to the fair outside butlins if we were lucky go to pier the steel Stella and visit Walton on naze Happy memories
We used to go there when I was a kid in the 60's, because it was all my parents could afford. Although we had little money we always had a good time, and fond memories of Jaywick.
Try somewhere like merthyr, or even some of the out of the way townships in north Wales, like well away from the touristy parts. That might be an eye opener..
Yeh alot of people keep saying that area!
Anywhere in UK is rough if you start trouble.
Just had a couple of pints of guiness draught yesterday lovely beer.
Good for your health
Great videos 👏 mooch about and see what’s kicking off 😂😂
Jaywick definitely has character and probably has some proper unique people too. I love those old holiday chalets. My home town in Devon had them, until they were bulldozed for luxury apartments. It's good to see somewhere like this still exists, even in its ropey form. Oh and free those poor parrots ffs.
Awesome pal!!!
Cheers lad 👍
Since you're in Essex. Please consider coming to Suffolk, visit Ipswich. Or maybe some of our villages.
Summer i will be 👍
Be limited to rubbish places in Suffolk, Lowestoft and Ipswich thereafter a lovely county
@@SuperKinlo Halesworth, Leiston, Beccles, there are a few more.
@@baron5747 Halesworth and Beccles, both are nice market towns. Leiston, is now just going to be full of rentals for those working on sizewell C.
@@SuperKinlo Halesworth, nice?. It's a shithole lol.
all looks quite nice. whats the rough bit?
Looks a nice spot , £3.50 sounds good price , I live in Ireland and if you go to Dublin to the temple bar area you can pay up to €10 for a pint of Guinness
Went for a weekend once. Stayed a night. Maddest place I ever went.
Good lad getting down to Essex 👍
Was a trek. Thanks 🤣👍
Been there, near Claton on sea, some of the properties are really nice
Can remember getting dragged around jaywick market on a sunday morning.
Quality channel, this, mate. The north-east might yield some interesting pubs you could go to.
Cheers pal. Yeh i need to hit grimsby soon!
@@honestplaces Nice; will look forward to it.
What a surprise, following in the footsteps of 3 more famous youtubers.... suddenly the Jaywick pub becomes a hit!
Making more money than ever....support local 🤣
Better than an inner city slum any day of the week . Lovely walks with your dog if you have one , i suspect mental health would be better living here even if you're living on the breadline.
Good place for that yeh pal i agree
Looks pretty peaceful to me. Surely the roughest pub you wouldnt even be able to get your phone out without getting it robbed. And that nice fleece you're wearing
Subscribed great content ❤
Cheers pal. Appreciate it 👍
A Napoleonic Martello tower, part of a chain of similar towers around the south east coast.
Proper well built them 👍
@@honestplacesShould've popped down to Point Clear, another dump with a boozer (The ferry boat inn) right next door to a Martello Tower that has a air museum in. I've never been inside that pub not as brave as you😂
@@honestplaces I think there are five Martello towers in the Clacton area.. Point Clear to Clacton Pier..
Watching out for small boats then
The Martello tower at jaywick is well worth a visit £1.00 entry fee.
It might look rundown in parts but at least it feels like a British town, unafraid to show the Union Jack or English flag above their properties. It just needs investment to revamp the ailing infrastructure and properties. But living close to the sea in wintertime, during a storm doesn’t sound like fun to me, but at least you can buy a cheap pint in the local pub there and have a chat with friendly locals until the bad weather passes.
The hills have eyes 😮
Jaywick is a great place to take your dogs on the beach as its massive 👌🏻
Went down there to look at a comercial fridge right by the pub you drank at. Whilst there, I walked into the premier shop opposite and a kid no older than 10 was buying a scratch card and the shop didn’t even sell water… safe to say I will never go back 🤣
Always makes me chuckle when I see people in "deprived" areas with motorhomes, jags and focus St's. Can't be that hard up. Either that or they're working whilst claiming benefits
You can get used Mercs for a grand on Autotrader. This area is seriously-deprived. Those are run-down properties. Don't stereotype poeple on benefits please.
@@tdtm82yes I bet there not insured
@@Zpeter84. yes. I got mugged at Clacton and have a scar on the back-of-my-head from it. Trust me it's not a nice place those areas. Stay safe.
Like old Key West
It's more than good enough for the Proles.
The party has fixed the price of Victory Gin at $2 for 700cl for the next five years.
They should be grateful.
That pub is stunning. Would be interesting to know the history of it.
Shame the parrots can't talk 🤣
@@honestplaces😂
Whilst your in the area
You should check out the pointer in Alresford!
Any good?
Looks alright👍🏻
Better than most areas of London…
A few members of my family are moving up that way from Bethnal Green East London.Is it mainly white british up there still?? Lol
Hahaha black people
Love you to head down to Reading and visit a few pubs there. Really nice night life there. Reckon you'd love the purple turtle there, got shisha the lot.
Shisha! Rare to find nowa days
That’s the sort of beach you’d see signs says “Minefield”😊
It’s supposed be one the best beaches
Is it!?
No , the better beaches are Holland on Sea, Clacton and Frinton. .
Seawick ( the Martello Tower bit) has an ok pebbled beach.
Then further along from Seawick, head towards Brightlingsea and there is a nudist beach which is really great in the summer.
There’s worse places about than jaywick. I visited there a few years ago and found the people friendly. Would be nice if the council put some money into the area though.! 👍
Yeh there are. The folks are sound like most places. But as you say even just abit of money would do wonders
I’d visit jaywick again no problem 👍
Tendring Council never seemed to have enough money for anything
Yes. Our council is the same😳
I love jaywick ❤
0000s used to holiday in Jaywick in the 50s and 60s.
Can you take a look at Goole? Supposed to have some proper rough pubs, really bad reputation in East Riding but the crime rate isn't that bad, think it's mostly fighting
There are thousands. So many to choose from!
I'd love live In jaywick can you imagine anywhere with that view would pay a fortune
That is a Martello tower. Built to defend during wars against the French.
