I
have lots of fond memories of Great Yarmouth. From visiting local museums
with my school and family to seasonal summer excursions walking down Regent
Road and along the seafront. Crossing the river by ferry first walking the
seafront then regent rd. Loving visits to Model Village and Joyland. Evening
visits to the illuminated waterways. Saturdays sometimes having our dinner
in town at a fish and chip restaurant like Chrissies. Walking around the
market hearing the calls from the stall holders. Visiting the cinemas.
Seeing the fish in the aquarium at the Royalty Cinema before going into
watch a film. Working down Regent Road at Peggles Gifts for several
seasons. Having to negotiate people when walking along with a tray of teas
to the other shop on the corner. Walking from Gorleston to Great Yarmouth along
the river. The red and blue buses. Eastern Counties red buses pulling in at
the Station off St Peters Road. Being able to catch a blue number 9 bus
from Gorleston seafront to Gt Yarmouth. Going out to the Brunswick, The
Ship and Indie nights at Tiffany's, Rosies. Seeing local bands play at the
Ship and the wrestlers.
