In this video shot by Stephanie in summer 1991 you can see things that are no longer there - the breakwaters, the Church Lane toilet block, and the Beach Hotel; blank spaces where things are today - Bill Baker Court, the trees around the playing field; and drop in at Bennetts the Butchers where a young Richard will serve you 'haslet and a well-done pork pie' and you can compare the prices with today. You can also see work going on at sea connected with the Theddlethorpe gas terminal*, a rig offshore and some mystery cranes down towards Sandilands. This was over 30 years ago!
*Opened in 1972 and closed in 2018, Wikipedia records; In the early 1990s, a new pipeline was built to the terminal by Kinetica, a company jointly owned by PowerGen and Conoco. That must be the work going on out to sea.
