15:50 'Bart' is the abbreviation for 'Baronet'.
Really interesting. Yarmouth is so steeped in history and I'm a big history fan!! Glad you mentioned the suspension bridge disaster as local people still talk about that tragedy. Well done Tim 😄👍
Thanks Deborah 😀
I moved to great yarmouth 2 years ago love the place from where I use to live me a s my partner love fi finding stuff and places deffo love the church
Love Great Yarmouth and Hemsby been going since the age of 2 ❤️
This is really interesting Tim. I went to Yarmouth as a kid and have learnt so much more. Shocking i’m a Norfolk girl too. Who knew Yarmouth had so much history. My brother in law was born and raised there
Loved this and as my home town I didn't even know all these facts. Remember going to the toll house with school trips, they would lock you in a dungeon for laughs.
Amazing all these years have been to Yarmouth didn't even know this wall was here thanks Tim x
Thanks ali
Hi there Tim, your video is a great attempt at showing off the towns wonderful history.... However there are quite a few inaccuracies in some of the facts you are talking about. As people have already mentioned Nelson was born in Burnham Thorpe, but visited Yarmouth and was given freedom of the Borough in 1801. The Star Hotel is not the oldest hotel in the town, and was originally the Cromwell Hotel, the Star Hotel stood next door where the YMCA stands now, The Nelson museum closed its doors for the final time in October of last year which is a great loss to the town, and there were never any gallows outside the Tolhouse or the townhall--the original gallows stood on the North Denes where Jellicoe Road is now. A great video though highlighting some of our towns amazing history, when lockdown is finally lifted why not come and join one of the heritage walks that runs during the summer season :)
I did say the star was ONE of the oldest 😉
I miss Yarmouth so much x :(
Me too!😥
I don't
Loved this video! I took my little girl on the walk the other day, Thank you for sharing this!
Ahh that's really nice xx
Brilliant video I have been on holiday to Great Yarmouth since I was 5 I am now 55 the attraction for me and wife is the fantastic history of Great Yarmouth, after all these years you have shown some things i didn't know, will look the next time I go to Great Yarmouth well done. Visited the museums well worth a visit.
That was very interesting. I've been to Great Yarmouth on numerous occasions, never had a clue about this piece of history. Great job Tim....
Thanks Peter
Really interesting historical walk - great stuff! 👍🏻
Hi, i really enjoyed this, as I lived in Great Yarmouth fifty years ago and was ignorant of the historical value, being a bored teenager at the time! Fabulous video and work you've put into this, its made me want to revisit. Enjoyed your other vids on Great Yarmouth too! Great job!
You walk right past my house on here haha:)
@@polatalemdar5093 no sorry
do u live near any of these .. spoooky ua-cam.com/video/As5yQu7AumY/v-deo.html
Another fascinating walk Tim, well done. Just one little correction the plaque you mention is for James Paget, not James Pagent Bart. James' name was given to the present hospital and the 'Bart' signifies that he was made a baronet.
i thought that looked odd ... thanks michael
Absolutely brilliant! I always thought it would be nice to have a guided tour of the walls and you just did it for me thank you! And all on my birthday in lockdown!!
Happy Birthday Brenda! 🎂🎂🎂
@@WalkWithMeTim Thanks , it was brilliant thanks and your video made it better!
Fantastic! I love your narration. Thanks for wonderful Historic tour :)
Thanks
After watching this 2 days ago, I went on a bike ride and found the settee and metal sculpture, got some nice pictures of them, so thanks for the video 👍
Ha nice steve, hope u subscribed and did u find out about the reason for the settee? Lol
Walk With Me Tim not yet, going back today to see if there is any more information, I told my dad about it as well as he was born in Row 57, so he is interested in the local history and he enjoyed your video as well 👍
My haunt for holidays as a child fantastic history, burgh castle another fantastic location to visit.
It really is!
Hi I'm new to your channel my grandmother and her family came from Norwich. My mum was born in Norwich hospital. I have been on holiday to great Yarmouth since I was a child. I never knew about the wall in all the years I've been there . Thankyou for taking us on this tour it was very interesting. Next time I go i will look for the wall . Xx
Thanks for watching Tracy
Really enjoyed this video, we've been coming to Yarmouth for our holiday for years.
Thanks kelly remember to subscribe
fantastic history lesson found it really interesting we have watched many of your films they are so interesting thank you
Thanks sue
Forgot what it was called but the tower you showed around 13 minutes is on air BnB when I did panto at at George's we stayed in there, fantastic bathroom although spooky atmosphere!
Yes the sign is around the bck never been in there
@@WalkWithMeTim the listing is on air BnB if you wanted to see inside!
Great video. I visit Yarmouth most Sundays for a good long walk, you have given me a mission now. Recently I discovered a house that claims to be the site of WW1 first fatalities. The suspension bridge story was new to me, thanks. Every day is a school day.
Lol of course thats very true u learn something new every day
Great little video. Thanks Tim. Yes, I do know all those places and I would have added a couple of details like the local hospital is named after James Paget, maybe a bit more about the Elizabethan House, the Time and Tide museum which was in shot and built in a smokehouse - referencing the herring history, but hey, you could go on forever about Yarmouth's history. Well done!
Thanks
Wow!!! Never knew. Thank you
No problem!
Really enjoyed that.
Glad to hear it!
Extremely interesting as always 👍
Fantastic video full of interesting historical infomation, we've been meaning to do a video like this of the town for some time now as one of us lives there but you've done such a great job I certainly couldn't top that! Well done 👍😊
Lol thanks em and stu .. but even research from Google is sometimes incorrect 😉
@@WalkWithMeTim yes we've found that out about alot of the local places we've explored so can really appreciate the amount of time and effort that went into making this video!
Yes it does took me all day to edit lol 🤪
my dad runs the Recruiting Sergeant pub where that grave yard is made me chuckle when you wondered if the owners of the house in the tower had any ghost stories, im not really a believer but had many a spooky experience in that pub when growing up never really put 2 n 2 together before with that graveyard tho haha.
There also a man encased in the wall at the pottery, rememeber seeing it on a schooltrip there, story was he got banished then tried getting back in though a newly built secton i always thought it was him haunting the place lol
Great vid by the way
Thanks for watching... a man in a wall ... what !!!
Nelson was born on 29 September, 1758, in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, England
You channel is wonderful. Really interesting about the wall its unbelievable it still stands. Yarmouth is close to my heart as i used to go to california sands and go to club oasis. I wonder if it’s still there? Anyway keep up the good work. Ive been watching this all week and ive got to take my girlfriend to wells by the sea to stay in those wonderful round thatched cottages. All the best tim
Thank you very much! for watching means a lot don't forget to tune in if you can to my New Years day live Q & A at 4pm
This is so interesting really enjoyed the tour. Been to Great Yarmouth so many times but never knew any of this.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome tour thanks ❤
The bus station smells of wee too, went there yesterday
Yes it's not nice!
Amazing and interesting vlog to watch, you really do live and learn. Just goes to prove you don't know the half of it, what an interesting history it all has, all those people of the past building its rich history over many many years.
Thanks wayne
Would love to see a video of Gorleston. Keep up the good work!
That's coming on Friday 😉
You did a better job than the Tourist Board never done.
lol
Great video very interesting. Could you do more videos on Hemsby?
Thanks neon, yes hopefully I'll be going back when it's back open 😎
Hi tim enjoy great Yarmouth walls walk history I enjoy lot history in
town simler walk to Chester and York wall and towers great
Sounds great! yes York is amazing
Is good that they are keeping the walls and working on. Them rather then tearing them down
yes look at the halloween one ua-cam.com/video/As5yQu7AumY/v-deo.html
Funny you should point out Sainsbury's. I used to work for them when they were in Market Gates , back in '79. Of course, the wall was just part of the development and we took it for granted. At one time some of us 6th formers did do a walk of it. We ended up in the pub, I'm sure. Enjoyed your video and the others in the series
Thanks you hope u subscribed 👍
Love your passion for English history. It's coming under attack at the moment.
Thanks ben
Great video! 👍
Awesome video, I was there 1 years ago so nice place.
It really is!
Another great video, never knew Yarmouth had a medieval wall (or a Taco Bell lol). Used St Georges Theatre when I done the Yarmouth 10k from St Georges Park and along the sea front. Think that was the last time I went to Yarmouth.
Sad news as taco bell now not going to open up again I dont think
@@WalkWithMeTim oh well. Lots of history I didn't know about in Yarmouth. I actually live just round the corner from where Anne Sewell wrote Black Beauty in Old Catton.
Thank for sharing
Thank you too for watching
Never actually noticed that snall window by Victoria arcade
Don't look through it lol
great footage! thanks for sharing 😊
Have a good weekend , dear my friend ; )
Thank you! You too!
Wow I've been coming to great Yarmouth for a long time since I was a little girl so I'd say about 15 years and I Didnt even though that any of this exsisted thank you for making this video once it is safe to travel back to great Yarmouth I will definitely be checking some of this out.
Thanks nick, remember to subscribe
@@WalkWithMeTim I am subcribed as one day in the future once I get all my college and uni qualifications I hope to move to great Yarmouth or Norfolk
Hi Tim, Lord nelson was born in Burnham in Norfolk and not in great yarmouth, also the old court house is called the toller house and not the toll house , next on the right was a prison it was bombed in ww 2 . All the best from Allen.
Thanks Allen
Any chance of giving Gorleston a look ! My old home town !
This week
I could show you loads around there !
If it was"ent for this horrid virus i would had met you there !
Mine too, in my childhood. I hated moving away. Loved living there.
Very interesting vid, we’ll done
Thanks nicholas video
Pity you didn't go in the dissenter's burial ground, you can get the key from the town hall, good section of inside wall there where you could not get to the outside. The cemetery at Garden Gate is Jewish only as all the stones are in hebrew, another one on Kitchener Rd.
yeh i know ;-(
Loved the video, except the holes in the Wal were for arrows as mentioned in othe comments. Also behind Sainsbury is where the train track used to be. A history video on the Yarmouth/Gorleston train line would be amazing
Thanks Carl
I thought that those tunnels used for smuggling where used by the monks during the time of Henry the 8th?
I know so much history more then people release
Its the Bure!
Great video Tim never knew anything about the wall or Nelsons birth place. I would like to make a one off donation to your channel but looking through your link can’t see an option to do so
Let me know if you can accept a donation in another way.

On a quest to watch all of the videos?
That’s interesting, yes colbys gate is Jewish, one of three Jewish cemeteries in Yarmouth
Thanks for watching Simon
@@WalkWithMeTim I enjoy your videos, I lived in Norwich for twenty years and went to school in Gorleston.... I lived in Paris and I often send your videos to an opera singer there, she enjoys them
There was a large Jewish population in Yarmouth during the Victorian era.... I myself am a Jew that is a believer in Jesus Christ... most of my friends growing up in Yarmouth had either Jewish or Scottish surnames
@@simondavid9370 thanks
@@simondavid9370 oh wow , thanks for watching Simon
Ah yes those famous medieval guns
lol
nice one thing wrong NELSON was not born in great yarmouth he was born in norfolk not great yarmouth he was given the freedom of the borough
If some people weren't allowed to be buried inside the wall... What did that seagull do wrong to end up in that little cemetery?
Sorry I had to mention it 🤣🤣
lol
Reference Jewish headstones they would be considered unsaved not being christened or believing in catholic teaching so would be bury outside consecrated ground
arrr thanks John
Great job Tim, giving us a history of town. Very interesting and full of historic information. And congrats on 1000 subscribers. Keep it up 🤙🏾
Thank you
Nelson was born in Burnham Thorpe, and nobody lives in the tower, it is an air bb, holiday flat. But nice walk around town!
thanks ray if you enjoyed that you might like this ua-cam.com/video/As5yQu7AumY/v-deo.html
I ga
I have looked at your walk round great Yarmouth and I think there are some errors. Most important Lord Nelson was not born in Great Yarmouth and only came to the town 3 times. I think he was born in Thorpe Market but I need to look that up. You can go in the Royal Naval Hospital and look round and on heritage day we will show you round the chapel, the library and the museum. The slots round the wall are not really for guns but for bows and arrows. People not buried in the church yard are buried in the dissenters burial site within the town wall the site by the potteries is the Jewish Grave yard and the synagogue was also outside the wall. One reason the wall took so long was because of the black death when half the town died and are buried under Sainsbury's car park. When the wall was finished it was obsolete as the cannons were far more powerful which is why in some places the earth is piled up inside the wall.
Would love to see a history of Gorleston video!
I was born here 84 years ago and often visit as a lot of my family still live in the area. I have live in Audley street, Rodney Road and on Station Road, Southtown.Still a lovely old town in spite of its current problems and I shall be fishing here again once I can travel and stay. Was here last June for a long weekend Staying at the Kensington Hotel. Richard French.
Wow, thanks Richard, remember to hit subscribe
Nelson was not born in Great Yarmouth !!
29 September 1758
Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, England
I’m from Great Yarmouth and I am shocked by how little of its history I know - this video was a real eye opener! Great content 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
This is absolutely fantastic!! I’m so ecstatic that someone has taken time out to invest in Gt Yarmouth’s history! I’d love to collaborate maybe sometime? When the lockdown started me and my partner were considering making a documentary of the history of the town from the beginning of the town up until modern times... this would be great for us history buffs and for school children who live in and around Norfolk.
Thanks jamie
Lived here all my life but never realised the true extent of the wall. Really enjoying the videos. Thanks.
I know its crazy
arrow slits, not gun ports
Some friends lived in that row of houses above the smugglers' tunnel back in the 80s. They had a major haunting that was witnessed by several people, and it caused quite a stir at the time. I lived in the attic of the Oakwood pub, not far away, and that place came alive at times too! 😱 Love your vids!! 😁
omg! would be messing my pants .. thanks for watching!
Thanks for your fascinating tour, Tim!
Can I please add that Admiral Lord Nelson is England's greatest naval hero who put an end to the tyrant Napoleon's expansionist ambitions and in so doing gave his own life for his beloved country at the battle of Trafalgar on the 21st October 1805.
The traditional toast on the anniversary of his death in battle is "The Immortal Memory!" and for good reason. It's a proper reason to crack a bottle !
Great Yarmouth was an important naval base throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Nelson, who was born at Burnham Thorpe, landed at Great Yarmouth on three occasions.
Landing there after the Battle of the Nile, in 1798, he was given a hero's welcome and was carried to the Wrestler's Inn, on Church Plain where he was presented with the Freedom of the Borough.
The Norfolk Naval Pillar, as it is officially known, has stood for 200 years at South Denes. Building it
on an empty sand spit ensured it would be seen from both land and sea. I believe you can climb up the inside to the top on special public open days.
Thanks, Tim!
Thanks fast Eddie , I think I need you on the tour 👍
Could you do the gory history of great Yarmouth. Sainsbury's is a plague pit. There's many stories.
have done just that check out my ghost tour ua-cam.com/video/As5yQu7AumY/v-deo.html
What great comments on this video..
I love watching it.. So interesting xx
One of my new favourite channels. Tim it is great to see someone bigging up that area instead of the usual GY is a shithole type of stuff. You forgot to go to Nelsons / Britannia Column though. Me and the wife watched all your videos last night and this morning. Great stuff.
Thank you so much for your kind words .. I agree I dislike it to when people moan about it thousands of people have so many fond memories and are continuing to make new ones , hopefully I will also show you how beautiful the rest of the east coast is on future videos
Thank you for another very interesting tour, alright a couple of bits of information wrong, but I am sure will soon be corrected.
All in all a very enjoyable tour, which my husband and I enjoyed as much as the Gt Yarmouth in lockdown.
Keep up the excellent work, from a Yarmouth Bloater.
Yes thank you Janet
Well done, I’ve never visited some of these areas on this route, really interesting facts along the way.
Thank you
I live near that wall xD. The flats. :>
Can't wait for when he does a 1mil special I could say "I've been here since 1k"
LOL LOL
@@WalkWithMeTim For a someone that only started 3 months ago and now over 8k is a great achievement so it's easily possible.
Enjoyed the video. Quite a lot of factual errors though. For example, at the very beginning , the bridge mentioned in the Suspension Bridge disaster crosses the river Bure not the river Yare.
Would love to see more. Keep it up.
Thanks Paul
I enjoy your talks about Yarmouth ment tobe coming there in August 2020 hoilday paid for not sure if we will be going cause of lockdown
You never know yvonne
Look forward to these every week now.
Hi Tim,
Really enjoyed your video. But....I hope you can take some constructive criticism. Firstly, some of your facts are just completely wrong. Nelson wasn’t born in Great Yarmouth, he was born in Burnham Thorpe. You clearly do some prep before you set off as you were realing off dates and other facts, but thinking Nelson was born in GY is a school boy error.
Secondly, you overuse of the word ‘Obviously’ is really irritating. It’s virtually every sentence...
Keep up the good work though. Still thoroughly enjoyable.
Yep I know, i should have double checked but its amazing how so many others thought he was also born here too, I blame everyone I know 😉
Walk With Me Tim A Nelson museum in the town would make you think he was born there.Thoroughly enjoyed the walk,never been to Gt Yarmouth
so “obviously “ did not know anything about the wall.You can fit that word into almost any sentence as you well know.I didn’t notice but obviously others did.See,it just feels so right.......obviously. Thanks for the walk.
Walk With Me Tim Forgot to say I have subscribed.
@@joycefinney2735 lol thank joyce
Really enjoyed that.
such a great share,I wish you all the best,many greetings
Thank you! You too!
WOW, all the time I have been coming to GY, I never knew the history of the wall, that's awesome!!! loved it, proper fascinating!!!
Thank you
Could you give us all a clue as to who the 'invaders' were? Most of the ones I learned about had finished by the time the walls were built. Enjoyed the tour, though.
The wall took like 50 to 60 years to complete most yarmouth who built it never saw it completed
Beautiful part of England...I love how they build around the old buildings to leave the history intact not like Ireland where they knock everything down just to replace by horrible modern buildings ✨☘️
Absolutely fascinating Tim.... thank you
Came up in my recommended, got to say really enjoyed this and learn a lot about a town I’ve lived in virtually whole life!
Good job mate
Thank you hope u subscribed 😀
I live in Great Yarmouth and I wonder so mutch about it thank you 😊
Thanks Lacey , hope you also subscribed
Thank you so much .fantastic tour of our fabulous historic gt yarmouth .you would definitely make a great tour guide for holiday makers after this lockdown has finished .looking forward to watching more of your videos.stay safe!👍🏻
Ha ha ha thank you
Would be great but when doing a history walk better to get your facts right, nelson was not born in great yarmouth, a lot of building you pointed out as victorian were Edwardian. Love the content but please do your research.
Well history will be lost in all its forms if Netflix and BBC get their way. Will we be able to go to museums and libraries to find what humans were up to good or bad in the past. Heard a comment today 'History is Fluid' what on earth is meant by that.
Good point
Some great museums and sites off the beaten track in Gt. Yarmouth, and Norfolk more generally, we love the Time & Tide museum. Any plans to do North Norfolk, Cromer and surrounds?
Hi Tony , yes I'm doing North Norfolk, Cromer , Sherringham, Wells and Hunstanton in next few weeks
Fantastic video thanks Tim.
