This brought back happy memories of a holiday in Weymouth many years ago....August 1957 to be precise! Entertainers appearing there then were Joe Baker and Jack Douglas and a young slim comedian called Bill Maynard. All of them went on to bigger things.

My memories of Weymouth was when I was a teenager in the 70's. We stayed in a caravan at Bowleaze Cove and I remember sitting under some trees watching the ferries coming in from the channel islands. That’s all gone now by the looks of it, happy days

I have noticed with your videos that they are filmed months before you upload them, nothing wrong with that but why don't you add in the description when they were filmed as people would like to know.

My second home! I lived there for two years in the late 1970s for work and fell in love with the place. Once married we came here as many years as possible as our 'bolt hole'. Now my husband is no longer with us I am coming back this year with his niece which will be bittersweet. The water is so clear you can walk out into the sea and watch the fish swim in and out of your legs. This video is obviously out of season as dogs are only allowed on the whole beach at that time. In season there is a dog section up by the pier where the theatre is. St Mary's Street is indeed one of the main streets of the town. St Thomas, running parallel, is the other and runs straight down over the bridge that opens every two hours to allow larger ships to enter and leave the marina. Look at the colour of the water in the harbour! Too late for me to move down there now but will always be my dream location. ❤

We visited Weymouth in June when we had a holiday in Dorset. It was packed with no parking anywhere and of course no dogs on the beach. Not keen on crowds and lots of amusement arcades, we just drove through and left. Think I would like it off season like this video. Beach looks lovely.

I was born in Weymouth in 1947! An amazing bay and pleasant harbour area but otherwise very little going for it unless you like candy floss and slot machine arcades. Visited recently and the town sadly has a feeling of terminal decline, like many U.K. seaside resorts. The era of the ‘Swindon Works Week’ that used to define the place is long gone but that is probably a good thing!

It's a shame that the old tramway got removed and couldn't be repurposed as a heritage line or as part of a tram (proper trams). A tram route following the original tramway and then going along the promenade would probably would have done reasonably well

This is a lovely video, really enjoyable. First went to Weymouth as a small boy in '77 with my my mum and dad. I was around 5 at the time. We stayed in a caravan at Bowleaze Cove. Remember it well, and I also remember going to Hardy's cottage. I've been back to Weymouth a few times since, and always loved it. One of my favourite places

Yes all along with esplanade are lasers, because the council took down the lights from Greenhill to the pavilion because it cost them a fortune maintaining them and replaced them with the cheaper lasers 😊
