I was born in Eastbourne in 1952 and lived there till I was 16...It has changed a lot since then of course. I used to find the ageing population unsympathetic to a teenage boy growing up in the 60s so left for the Big City as soon as I could...I have been back from time to time and appreciate the beauty of the town more and more. I'm thinking of moving back there and this short video is the best I have seen on UA-cam. Thanks for posting......
Visited a few days ago, arrived at 3pm, it hosed it down for three hours then I went to bed and left at 5am. I watched your ace video just to see what it was like. Top marks for this, chum.
I feel very fortunate to have been born in Eastbourne, It was indeed a wonderful place to live and grow up in. I lived here from 1960 to 1999, before moving to California where my second wife is from. I've visited back a few times and sincerely hope to make it back again in the future.
Stop here a few years ago at the bay majestic " which is now closed . loved it . we went to visit beachy head where they filmed the last bit of the film quadrophenia 1979 where the character Jimmy (Phil Daniels) jumps off the cliff with the , faces (sting) scooter and. also Brighton's " East Street . Another part of quadrophenia filming locations .
I wouldn't bother now. It WAS a lovely resort but is now overrun with illegal immigrants. Friends of mine who moved to Eastbourne a few years ago hoping to spend their retirement amongst similar people now see rather menacing gangs of them all over town. The ae horrified.
Not the Albiion Hotel at 11:55, that is the Shore View Hotel, stayed there many times its really nice! Crown and Anchor Pub across the road is great as well!
If it’s anything like other seaside towns in the UK, most of those grand hotels, built for hard-working, law-abiding, British people and families, will now be full to the rafters with illegals, fleeing northern France, now living the Life of Riley at British taxpayers’ expense. An excellent video.
The elephant in the room you haven't mentioned is Eastbourne is now overrun with illegal immigrants being accommodated at huge expense in some of these lovely hotels.
@@jonmould2946 tourism? it was pretty much disregarded as god's waiting room up until recently and i'm guessing all of those tourists are now dead, so there's your issue. if you're used to london, then this is such a non-issue. if you want racist tourists in eastbourne that's your problem.
@BluebellBeatnik all depends on which part of london. I live in the hellhole part of london. I bought in eastbourne to get away from that and I don't want them following me bringing the Empress of Watering places down. A Town built by gentlemen for gentlemen, not a town built to dump the worlds rubbish.
@@jonmould2946 calling human beings rubbish is a seriously sociopathic level of cruelty that I cannot even understand. Maybe because my parents are immigrants, I cannot view people in that way. I can't imagine you're going to understand how to humanise people you actively dehumanise and view as objects. Nothing about that observation smacks of gentlemanliness at all so it's churlish to expect something from them that you yourself cannot deliver. You have no idea whether or not they are gentlemen. You don't know them personally. I don't know what the 'hellhole' part of London is for you. You would have to be more specific. Where and why?
Yet another video seen through rose tinted glasses its been in decline since the eighties due to many reasons you had to be here throughout the sixties and early seventies to see it at its best and was vastly different to the dump that exists today but that's reality something people like to shun in 2024
eastbourne has really gone downhill sadly, ive had to move because of the crime because of the 10 hotels housing immigrants. muggings , robery skyrocketed at the beginning of this year. crime in July was 513 reported, normally it is 100 to 200
@@TheSeafordianexplain how these are lies.. do you live there ? What I love about Eastbourne are the Albanian gangs who run everything from prostitution to narcotics. Unfortunately this place is a shithole now and the town is almost completely unrecognisable from what your parents would have known.
@@Rycerz49 wow FINALLY someone else sees it ! I'm not joking there must be 400 albanians in this town. they are dealing drugs like crazy. just sit in a coffee shop or multiple for 5 hours
do a walking video again now and its completely changed ! the demographics are shocking - mass migration. allowing people from hotels to move into the HMOs

The Bay Majestic is one of many hotels in Eastbourne now set aside for the exclusive use of illegal immigrants.
They have been and gone good luck to any body staying there
Gosh I quite like Eastbourne, i like the street at 19:25. If my mum isn't still ill, I might go.
The Pier Hotel has a great bar and staff, had a great night with my Dog Dexter and Koudier on the Guinness, such fun! :)
I was there last weekend. It was awesome place .🙏
@15:40 He’s had his Fish n chips! 🐟🍟
My parents used to love East Bourne ,never been there,I see what I missed now.

Once you go, you don't want to go home .
@@jackwatsonepic626 are you referring to tourists or the illegals?

Eastbourne is GORGEOUS! I did so fabulous pictures. My friends thought it was in Italy!
Nice Sharing👍

very informative narration, is it easy to get from the seafront to beachy head and is it possible by public transport only ?
I live in Eastbourne, this video is in no way representative of a town with massive violence drug and alcohol problems!

I had a girlfriend who lives in Eastbourne I haven't seen her for years

oh grow up. the way you're contrasting the word 'immigrants' with 'lovely hotels'. immigrants are lovely too.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 it's a serious issue and damaging tourism.

The Chippy on the Pier is awful, worst Fish and Chips I have ever tasted, Steer clear!
But I do love Eastbourne, amazing place and wow the walks along Beachy Head and Seven Sisters to Seaford are STUNNING!
I caught him buying his pies in Tesco express. Not kidding, he sells them from his shop. Tesco express 75p!
Qualisea in Terminus Road is OK, Yummy Noodle in the Enenterprise Centre near the train station is very, very good. Tell 'Nop' I sent you (Nigell)!
I live here and I hate it. I’ve been trying to move. It’s boring and full of ghastly Tories.
Lib-Dem council.
So true. Same. I was born here and hate it. Tory town
And people here are rude AF
Maybe move to Tower Hamlets?

More lies. What is the matter with you people?

Yes, keep moving and soon you will land in Scotland 😂

It’s terrible for cyclists. Go round Eastbourne

Hahaha micro climate. It rains and has heavy winds. There was a mini tornado. Are you playing spot the non pensioner?
Winter is horrendous in Eastbourne, I live there.
