Felixstowe is an Edwardian seaside town and civil parish between the River Orwell and River Deben on the North Sea coast of Suffolk, England. Felixstowe includes the Port of Felixstowe, which is the largest container port in the United Kingdom.
The nearby small town of Walton is often viewed as an extension of Felixstowe as the two towns are virtually side by side, though Walton was the original village. The quieter area nearer to the Deben River is often referred to as Old Felixstowe, although there is no formal classification of Old Felixstowe.
Landguard Fort, originally known as Langer Fort, is on the site of the last opposed invasion of England in 1667, and the first land battle of the Duke of York and of Albany's (later James II & VII) Marines. The current fort was built in the 18th century, and modified in the 19th century with substantial additional 19th/20th century outside batteries. The Fort hosts regular military re-enactments, including Darell's Day, which is a celebration of the last invasion, children's events and open-air theatre. Landguard Fort is in the care of English Heritage, and is managed by the Landguard Fort Trust to make it accessible to the public.
A museum telling the story of Felixstowe, with a reference library, historic maps, photo archive and 14 rooms of artefacts from Roman finds, the Martello towers, military social and domestic history through two world wars and into the new millennium is managed by volunteers from the Felixstowe History and Museum Society. It is located in the old submarine mining establishment building at the Landguard Peninsula, between the Fort and Port.
The sole remaining railway station, called Felixstowe Town, was opened in 1898. in the well-preserved building which now houses a supermarket and shops. Felixstowe Radio, the local community radio station that was formerly based in the building, has now moved to the old Coes building at the top of Bent Hill.
Felixstowe railway station is the terminus of the Felixstowe Branch Line passenger service to Ipswich; the line itself branches before the station, the other branch going on to the Port of Felixstowe. The Harwich Harbour Ferry operates between the View Point (near Landguard Fort) in Felixstowe and Ha'penny Pier, Harwich throughout the summer. The Bawdsey Ferry crosses the River Deben from Felixstowe Ferry.
Landguard Fort is a scheduled ancient monument and visitor attraction with a nearby nature reserve. At the opposite end of the town is Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club, which is amongst the oldest in the UK, having been established in 1881. Felixstowe has a recently refurbished sandy beach south from the pier, and a stoney beach north of the pier.
Cobbolds Point takes its name from the Cobbold brewery family who built Cranmer House on Maybush Lane in 1885. The architect Thomas W Cotman (1847-1925) designed many of the most famous buildings in Felixstowe including the Railway Station, Harvest House (Felix Hotel), the Orwell and Bath Hotels, Barclays and Lloyds Banks plus many others. The Art Deco style of architecture has been used for some buildings. The Cavendish Hotel in Sea Road, demolished in 1988, was in this style. From Brackenberry Fort to Felixstowe Ferry there is a walkway and is the start of the 50-mile Suffolk Coast Path.

Video Game Arcade Tours - Forum Amusements (Felixstowe, UK)
Sonic air hockey surrounded by an endless drab of redemption, 2ps and gamblers. The carpet is office blue with little to no atmosphere. This is more like a casino rather than an amusement arcade.

Many of the arcades in the UK (Mainly seaside arcades) are called Amusement Arcades. They are typically packed with redemption-based machines with very few video games (As video games simply do not make money). I have placed the word Amusements in the title for these types of places as they are not true Video Game Arcades, but deserve some sort of mention. As gambling is legal in the UK, they tend to include fruit machines (aka slot machines) and various other things money-making games, so video games really take a back seat in places like these. They also really hate filming, I'm not sure why because it's free advertising, unless dodgy things are taking place lol
An amusement arcade (often referred to as video arcade or simply arcade) is a venue where people play arcade games such as video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games, merchandisers (such as claw cranes), or coin-operated billiards or air hockey tables. In some countries, some types of arcades are also legally permitted to provide gambling machines such as slot machines or pachinko machines. Games are usually housed in cabinets. The term used for ancestors of these venues in the beginning of the 20th century was penny arcades.Video games were introduced in amusement arcades in the late 1970s and were most popular during the golden age of arcade video games, the early 1980s. Arcades became popular with children and particularly adolescents, which led parents to be concerned that video game playing might cause them to skip school.

Video Game Arcade Tours - Manning's Amusement Park (Felixstowe, UK)
I was pleasantly surprised by this arcade to be honest. They have invested in newer games (Luigi's Mansion for example), while using large amounts of floor space on Bowlingo (mini bowling) and Cody's Cabin (Mechanical shooter).
Their music games consist of Percussion Master and Dancing Stage Euromix 1. Haven't seen a Percussion Master since Trocadero closed their upstairs area in London a few years back. Dancing Stage Euromix 1 is better than no dance game by a long shot, but it would be nice to see something with more than 16 songs, like Dance Dance Revolution Extreme which has 240 songs, or even Euromix 2 at a pinch!
That being said, lots of video games and they haven't sold out on redemption. Felixstowe has good arcades and knows the value of a video game!

Felixstowe Ferry - A Great Place To Visit In Suffolk UK
A look at Felixstowe Ferry starting on the prom at old Felixstowe showing the beach huts and sweep of the coastline on the approach to the ferry.Then on to Felixstowe Ferry showing the beautiful views across the water, the boats, the fishermen, the old derelict houseboats along the river Deben and the cafes. Felixstowe ferry is a beautiful little hamlet sitting at the mouth of the Deben Estuary where it meets the North Sea. It has a pub and a couple of small cafes. This is a wonderful little place to sit and meditate, unwind, walk, meet friends for breakfast, lunch, coffee or afternoon tea. This is a great place for walks. You can head out along the pathway beside the river Deben and walk all the way to Woodbridge if you have the time. Or you can walk along in the other direction on the sea side, past the Yacht Club, the now closed Victoria Pub (the other pub, the Ferry Boat Inn is still open), and the Martello Tower in the direction of Felixstowe Docks, which you can see in the distance. Although I am a professional photographer, I am purely an amateur film-maker showing the area where I live.

The World's Smallest Country! - The Principality of Sealand
The Principality of Sealand is a micronation 12 km or 7miles off the coast of England.
Constructed for use for the second world war, multiple 4500 ton maunsell seaforts were built on barges and sunk in the ocean to protect the coastline of England. A crew of 100 soldiers could setup a seafort in only 30 minutes once they started to sink the structure. This seafort called Roughs Tower was named after the sandbank it sits on. Roughs tower was mainly used to keep track of any Germany vessels laying mines but was never needed to defend against an impending german attack. After the war Roughs Tower along with all the other seaforts were simply abandoned.
In the 1960s illegal pirate radio stations were popping up all over the place and found that broadcasting from the sea made them immune to British law as back then the law was only valid on land and 3 nautical miles off shore. This measurement came from the distance a cannon could shoot from the shore. Full time staff aboard Roughs Tower was removed in 1956 which opened the door for these abandoned maunsell seaforts to become popular homes for illegal radio stations. Wonderful Radio London made use of this tower in the early 1960s but in 1967 Paddy Roy Bates who owned the illegal radio station Radio Essex, seized the tower as his own to setup his radio station in international waters. Bates put his training as a Major in the British military to good use as he gathered some weapons and took ever Roughs Towers and declared it the Principality of Sealand. He declared himself the prince and his wife the princess. A year after his claim of Sealand a British vessel traveled close to the tower. Paddy fired a few warning shots in the air to scare off the boat which landed him in English courts with firearms charges. The court ruled that the event occurred outside of British territory which brought a lot of attention to Paddy and his self declared country.
In 1978 a German business man, Alexander Achenbach, along with his armed crew took over the Principality of Sealand. They took Paddy’s son hostage and Alexander claimed he was now the Prime Minister of Sealand and he now owned the country. How different the world would be today if it were that easy to take over a country.
Paddy and and his crew of armed goons boarded a helicopter and took the fort back with force but with no casualties. Now if this story wasn’t bizarre enough here’ where it gets really weird. One of the crew of Alexander, when they first took Sealand in 1978, was a German lawyer by the name of Gernot Putz. Gernot held a Sealand passport, that’s right Sealand not only has passports but currency, stamps, coat of arms, their own flag and a website where you can buy nobility titles like Knight, Baron, Lord, Baroness, Count, Countess, Duke and Duchess. We’re getting a little side tracked here so Gernot Putz held a passport from Sealand so by being apart of Alexander’s invasion crew it was considered an act of treason against Sealand. He was imprisoned with bail set at today’s value being $130,000. The UK government refused to have any participation in the matter as they stated Sealand was not part of the United Kingdom. The German government sent a diplomat stationed in London to negotiate Alexander’s release. After a handful of weeks he was released and things quieted down at Sealand. This event was a major win for Paddy as having diplomatic interactions with another country, and having England claiming Sealand wasn’t a part of the UK solidified Sealand as it’s own country. You see for a country to be a country it has to be viewed as a country by other countries. There are other factors but at this point Germany and England no longer viewed it as simply a few hippies living on an abandoned fort.
In 1982 during the Falklands war, Argentina tried to buy the island but Bates refused their offer. In 2007 ThePirateBay torrent website tried to buy Sealand by the Bates once again refused out of fear that England might try to reclaim the fort. HavenCo a data hosting service company found a home on Sealand in 2000 but after disagreement between the company and Bates, HavenCo’s website went off in 2008. Surprisingly it came back online in 2013 to continue business.
In 2012 Paddy Roy Bates died with his wife passing on soon after. Paddy’s son Michael is now in control of Sealand.
