Lived in weston all my life (25 years)
Always used to be so interested in the history of weston, I always loved listening to the storys my great nan would tell me of how it looked and how busy it always was.
alot of these pictures brought her stories to life for me so thankyou for this as it has made me think about all the times I was a kid asking her questions of history and what life was like in her day.
Very much appreciated ❤
Spent many happy day trips and holidays here from age 8 in 1966 up until around 2001. Moved to Wales and now with bad health have not been back but my son and his family visit often.
Wow ...!!!! I live here..!! brilliant thank you for taking me on a trip through time.....!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to subscribe - I have many others like it! czcams.com/video/MSATG9j1z-U/video.html
@@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist I cannot wait!
May I ask about the online troll situation, I'm thinking of moving to western but all the videos keep saying worst online trolling in Britain and gang stalking, I dont even know what that is tbh, could you explain please?
I am only 51 but can remember fondly so much on that video, the marine lake with the balcony’s , the Royal Pier hotel, the winter gardens as they were and of coarse the 1930s pavilion on the Grand pier, I was in a awful state when that burnt down.
Things looked so nice back in the day.now it's so grim
Not so, the Front at WsM is new and beautiful!
@@tedf1471 Agreed Ted. We get this all the time from people who live in newer housing, holiday abroad, enjoy all the new health, social and modern innovations and harp back to a time they don't understand.
It looks absolutely fine, what are you talking about?
@@benchmarked7771 what I am talking about is it looked nicer back in the day.
@@tedf1471 Where is it "New and Beautiful" ?
Brilliant video and shows weston in my opinion shows it seemed better and more attractive in its early years its a shame its been ruined
I've lived here on and off since 1980, and it's so interesting to see the change! Grove Park was the original town, and apparently Jesus came to WSM with his uncle Joe of Arimathea, who traded metal with the Romans, and landed at Uphill!
One of my favourite places. My father Paul Cossham grew up there, his father was the local dentist. I first visited in 1968 when I was 2, and have been back many many times since. This is a lovely montage, thank you.
We must be going to a different place Bcos it is a dump nowadays
@@elijahpassion8862 Oh Glory,what's happened to it?I dread to think how much my village has changed since I went into exile.I hear there r a lot more people there now & more houses.But I cannot imagine where they've been put.I wonder if they blend in.
@@susanmccormick6022 I think it’s bcos Weston has a lot of drug rehabilitation centres as it is tucked away, not near to any major cities, so a lot of drug dealers target the area knowing there will be a high demand, which as you can imagine lowers the value of the whole town.
This video is brilliant. Spent many a childhood vsummer holiday in various caravan parks during the 70's, 80's and 90's in Weston Super Mare. Music and exploding bricks is incredible to watch. Will be subscribing! 😁
Cheers Cherry! You might be interested in my project featuring the pier! czcams.com/video/MSATG9j1z-U/video.html
Weston-super-Mare has the potential to be a very desirable town but they will need to try and reduce the number of rehabilitation centres which the majority of people in them are not from Weston-super-Mare. This does tend to reflect badly on the centre of Weston-super-Mare.
Good comments 👍
Superbike:I can face it,what have the besoms done to WSM,Mark,Watchett,Burnham,Brent,etc etc.
Well done, James Fox. I’ll take a look and see if there are other delights. 👍🏴🇬🇧
Lived on Worlebury Hill in the late 70s till 1989. Very fond memories! Sad to hear the pier burnt down!
wow, thank you so much. I have lived in Weston for 42 years. I love it here much love.

Remember that day when the pier went up in smoke , my grandson does too xxx
A wonderful and beautiful synthesis of our History, James F. Thank you.
Pictorially and musically supporting the honest narrative for all to experience. Chronicles.
Apologies if I seem to overdo my appreciation. But then again, that's my Truth.
All the best to You and Yours. Stay free. Rab F. ⏳ 🎲 🌠
Appreciated! I'm looking into exploring travel time, not time travel in my next projects! (that might be a bit cryptic but will make sense!)
Was at Western not long ago , love it there, even wandered way it used to look like back in the day .now I know
Nice work, buddy! See, its stuff like this shows why I'd it'd be so cool to have a time machine. Some sort of invisible yet comfortable and safe platform 60ft or so in the air then just click back in 10yrly increments! Fantastic. If anyone has one, let's talk!
Nice vid, thanks
Thank you for this, James Fox 😁
wont be alot to see by 2050.
I live here this is excellent thank you 💚🎉

Should have gone further back with the trainstation... there were three tracks to begin with so would have been cool also tesco in town would have been a huge change!!
The arrival of TESCO brought civilization to many wild and savage places. 😉
Can't park there and the tide is always out.
Sick troll town! End of.
Spent many a summer holiday in Weston the pier and the arcades were so good back then I allways remember the small shops and swing rides in the sand bay area next to the old swimming baths the Tropicana on the sea front or all the full sized sega delux cabinets
Atari star wars at the peir enterance arcade
Sadly it's shite nowadays not even worth a visit
This is a very interesting vid that popped up as recommended.
Well what can I say. It doesn't take a genius to see that within living memory or just beyond,
that town planners, neglect and economic change has been rather cruel to good old
Weston Super Mare. I live not far away and I can say first hand that it is just so screwed up now.
What was once a thriving tourist attraction where the locals could make a good living, has turned
into a Ghetto. It's a broken town with no direction. A victim of bad rejuvenation concepts, plus
an over feeling that nobody cares.
Well done brilliant comments 👏
This is ridiculous - weston is not a ghetto. It’s not in it’s hay day anymore but in the past decade they’ve made notable improvements to the infrastructure.
@@AI_support You think what they did to Dolphin Square was an IMPROVEMENT. 😂👆 The new ONE WAY system an IMPROVEMENT? The vandalization of the seafront pool... an IMPROVEMENT.. You're a Clown. 🤡👆
Gary Seven:I am gutted!My father used to get so mad because not one councillor was a local man.My aunt said u can never go back.But still homesick for the ocean after over 30yrs exile.
at 2:25 - was the promenade damaged or were they taking it up to start again?
I think there was a particularly bad storm that year that damaged a lot of the promenade
im from weston to
Westons old country lanes have been replaced with housing estates 😭
Miles upon miles of Persimmon housing estates, thousands of people pilled high with no basic infrastructure to support the populous. Schools etc. That locking Road flood plain is a recipe for disaster.
The RT Hon:Oh no!All emmits??
@@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968 I am heartbroken & wonder what the damn developers have done to my little village.Homesick & now heartsick.
shows how weston has been destroyed and then when you think it cant get any worse the obscenity that is see monster our council should be ashamed
😎👍
Just found your channel.Thank u so much for giving a gal in exile a reminder of home.Don't suppose u could do my village could you??

@@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist Wow!That's some map.If u get there,the village is called Brent Knoll.Used to b called The Isle of Frogs & situated between Weston Super Mare,which looks like it's changed out if recognition,&Burnham on Sea.Where r u based?
Do Chichester, West Sussex
👏👏👏👏👍
I live in Weston Super Mare
Hayden671:Is Hayden your name?I used to know a guy called Heyden Wood.Part of my crowd b4 exile.Don't suppose u could b the same person?Used to b in the YC,among other things.Do names like Jon Denham,Liz Lambert,Gareth,Pam,Barry etc,ring any bells?
@@susanmccormick6022 My name is Hayden but idk anyone named Hayden Wood
@@hayden6719 Well,it was a long shot.I am not even 100% the surname was Wood.Maybe 50%Shame,I seem to have lost touch with my home crowd.Still miss the Carnival & the fun.Great memories.Do you recall that hot ladybird Summer?A group of us were walking around Burnham laying a Treasure Trail.Me in my bare feet.Up until then,I didn't know the little devil's could nip!They were good days. Nice talking to you.Peace.
@@susanmccormick6022 No i dont remember any of that but you seem like a nice guy anyways bye
@@hayden6719 Erm,not a guy!Best wishes & abiento.
The station used to be a lot bigger
Matthew Stockhall:Where I live now,there used to be a beautiful Victorian railway station.Then the blanking planners got hold of it & replaced it with an utter monstrosity.This used to be an historic market town.Until a certain someone, leader of the council & b4 my exile,took(said the older local people)took back handers to allow a city overspill to come here(the dregs of the city, according to the still angry locals),tore up the green fields to make sink estates & even said in a paper article that he would've torn down every old building in town,had he had his way!Including the 🏰.I learned this when we had an open day at our dig in town some years ago.As usual,not enough time to find a lot of hidden treasures.Why these people get away with such destruction,is beyond me.
Weston isn't as good as it was anymore
Is anything or anywhere? (Sarcasm...)
