While it might be local history, it has an impressive background and holds a Guinness world record! This video's a little different to usual as I'm trying out new styles, so please do let me know what you think. Thanks for watching! ------------ #history #hampshire #hythe #hythepier #hampshirehistory #newforest #historylesson #historyvideo #newforestheritage (at Hampshire, UK, England) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXW5qAFjPCm/?utm_medium=tumblr
