- Skegness is a seaside town and civil parish in the East Lindsey District of Lincolnshire, England. On the Lincolnshire coast of the North Sea, the town is 43 miles (69 km) east of Lincoln and 22 miles (35 km) north-east of Boston. With a population of 21,128 as of 2021, it is the largest settlement in East Lindsey. It incorporates Winthorpe and Seacroft, and forms a larger built-up area with the resorts of Ingoldmells and Chapel St Leonards to the north. The town is on the A52 and A158 roads, connecting it with Boston and the East Midlands, and Lincoln respectively. Skegness railway station is on the Nottingham to Skegness (via Grantham) line.
The original Skegness was situated farther east at the mouth of The Wash. Its Norse name refers to a headland which sat near the settlement. By the 14th century, it was a locally important port for coastal trade. The natural sea defences which protected the harbour eroded in the later Middle Ages, and it was lost to the sea after a storm in the 1520s. Rebuilt along the new shoreline, early modern Skegness was a small fishing and farming village, but from the late 18th century members of the local gentry visited for holidays. The arrival of the railways in 1873 transformed it into a popular seaside resort. This was the intention of The 9th Earl of Scarbrough, who owned most of the land in the vicinity; he built the infrastructure of the town and laid out plots, which he leased to speculative developers. This new Skegness quickly became a popular destination for holiday-makers and day trippers from the East Midlands factory towns. By the interwar years the town was established as one of the most popular seaside resorts in Britain. The layout of the modern seafront dates to this time and holiday camps were built around the town, including the first Butlin's holiday resort which opened in Ingoldmells in 1936.
The package holiday abroad became an increasingly popular and affordable option for many British holiday-makers during the 1970s; this trend combined with declining industrial employment in the East Midlands to harm Skegness's visitor economy in the late 20th century. Nevertheless, the resort retains a loyal visitor base. Tourism increased following the recession of 2007-09 owing to the resort's affordability. In 2011, the town was England's fourth most popular holiday destination for UK residents, and in 2015 it received over 1.4 million visitors. It has a reputation as a traditional English seaside resort owing to its long, sandy beach and seafront attractions which include amusement arcades, eateries, Botton's fairground, the pier, nightclubs and bars. Other visitor attractions include Natureland Seal Sanctuary, a museum, an aquarium, a heritage railway, an annual carnival, a yearly arts festival, and Gibraltar Point nature reserve to the south of the town.
Despite the arrival of several manufacturing firms since the 1950s and Skegness's prominence as a local commercial centre, the tourism industry remains very important for the economy and employment but the tourism service economy's low wages and seasonal nature, along with the town's aging population, have contributed towards high levels of relative deprivation. Poor transport and communication links are barriers to economic diversification. Residents are served by five state primary schools and a preparatory school, two state secondary schools (one of which is selective), several colleges, a community hospital, several churches and two local newspapers. The town has a police station, a magistrates' court and a lifeboat station.

When we went to Southport for 5he day we went to the chippy serving turkey dinosaur’s my daughter went ballistic stamping her feet and having a temper tantrum, I said to her “ for goodness sake it’s not the end of the world,” she it was for her and I told her to get a grip your 31 now can’t you move on from turkey Dino’s and smiley faces, she actually said know I can’t lol xxx
Nothing on the teddy bear and chips they used to do but still can't complain!:)
Turkey dinosaurs will forever be a British Classic!:)

@@TuppenceBros cant wait to watch it 😊
Earlyyyy🎉
Woooo!:)
@TuppenceBros currently set my self the challenge to watch every single video you've both ever uploaded from the very start
Hunstanton has some great arcades ideal for a £10 challenge, my wife & I enjoy the coin pushers there
We did a £10 challenge in Hunstanton yesterday (the video won't come out for a while) but it's not what it was, prizes on edge but the machines pay very little coins back!
Nice wins. I have that hedgehog, I won it from a claw machine in Blackpool.
Pretty good prize for an amusement arcade really!:)
Excellent video and you're sooooooo cute
Thank you!:)
Love Horrace!
So do we!:)
Seaton Carew, hartlepool
Hopefully be up there next year!:)
Felixstowe
We've been there, it was a surprisingly decent place!:)
Seaton carew has good machines ❤
We will hopefully be up there next year!:)
@TuppenceBros Redcar is good too but if you do go to Seaton make sure you go to The Alighty Cod for your tea
Do you use the coins that you win as part of your challenge amount too? I play the fiver game with my kids but any winnings have to go in their coin tins.
That's so cool that you do it with your children. Yes, all coins go back into the machine. If we had children and not doing it for peoples entertainment your idea is probably better!:)
Nice game
Thank you!:)
@@TuppenceBros your welcome
Any plans to go Matlock Bath lads?
We went to Matlock Bath and released a video 2 years ago, I’m sure we will go back in the future too 😁
Hi can I ask why you don't}ut 2 of the 2p in each machine at a time (in seperate slots obviously) to ensure no prizes touch the sides ard speed up play
On this machine, with the hedgehog being on the right and how heavy the machine was in the middle, putting coins in the left would have done little work into pushing the hedgehog. I hope that answers your question:) The only time we rapid fire is from both sides on heavy machines, otherwise you tend to loose more money and the fun is over more quickly!:)
@Tuppence Bros Absolutely fantastic video to watch and I would like to see you do a £10 challenge at Mabelthrope as I'm thinking about getting myself a Google pixel 6 in the sage green colour soon.👍🏻🙂
We struggle at Mablethorpe as the arcades are not brilliant but might be a good challenge for us!:)
@@TuppenceBros Oh okay no worries and I completely understand that as I was just wondering if you could do a £10 challenge in Cleethorpes and I'm thinking of getting myself a Google Pixel 6 soon.😊👍
Try Towyn north Wales
