I like them, I think it is the best Art Trail so far. Pity they don’t have more artworks.
It was all very pleasant 👍
The Dingle looks absolutely stunning what a gift to Shrewsbury nice video Dan best wishes Phil 👍
Yes the Dingle looked fab! Thanks Phil!
Nice watch Dan as always best wishes Phil 🙏
It’s a pleasure Phil! 👍
Great video! I was in the Dingle just yesterday.
Thank you, the Dingle is looking amazing at the moment 👍
Personally I think art has exhausted itself, speaking as someone who went to Shrewsbury Art School from 73 to 76. All of that 'modern' art could have been done 100 years ago when it had real shock value and wasn't used as happy-clappy decoration as it is today. It's just a way of living off Arts Council Grant money imho. There! You've set me off on one now! Naughty Mr.ThirdRate!! 🙂
I’m sorry if I got you going, 😂 and I’m sure the above is accurate. Thanks for the thoughtful comment 👍
Until April 2024, my 'family' home had been Colemere. My father's grave could just be seen in your video. As you looked across the fields towards the end of the programme, one of the wet pastures was said to have been bombed during WWII, and there were several quite large indentations in the bog. As we moved to Colemere in 1961, only 16 years after the War, the story is probably true.
Thank you. This extra information adds to the film, very kind of you to take the time to comment.
how often does shrewbury flood generally speaking and how badly does it effect the main parts of the town centre like around Pride Hill shopping centre? ive been considering moving to shrewsbury but only thing that stops me is alot of flats and stuff like that in the town centre are normally in the parts where it does flood
I would say it’s a tiny single digit percentage of Shrewsbury that actually gets flooded. The worst hit areas are all low lieing. The parts of Frankwell near the river are usually effected like wise St Jullians Friers and Ravens meadows. Pride Hill and all the main streets don’t get flooded because they lie on the top of two hills. The disruption to roads can be fairly severe 👍
@@thirdratecontent585 thanks for the quick reply, main reason im considering shrewsbury is there is always kitchen jobs popping up also, there is stores i like and i do like there some asian food shops also love hmv, cex and like the dvd mega store weird / fun fact shrewsbury prices for rent for 1 bedroom apartments is the same as most places in staffordshire (to be fair rent around cannock chase area is getting ridoclous), for me rent been priced as it is in shrewsbury makes sense compared to where i live at the moment
@FunRageDIE it is a pleasure mate. There’s plenty of Shrewsbury vids on this channel if you wanna see more of the place👍
my town llandudno filming location great to see it
It really is a lovely place.
Another great and informative vlog 👍.. It's great to be on the journey seeing how your camera work and content is improving, keep it up
It’s lovely to have you along and thank you for the kind words. 👍
Why Isent St Lawrence a cathedral.
Ludlow isn’t a city. So no matter how big and fancy St Lawrence’s is, it will always be a parish church
Near my parents in Tywyn, nice one
Thank you
umai on that street is my favourite food place in shrewsbury its really neat they put entrance on side street aswell since thats how alot of smaller places in japan do it
5 mins from my door step, its a beautiful place
Was there last weekend .Very windy
To say the least 😱
Demolished today
It’s gone. But these videos will always be here 👍
Great video Dan, definitely need windproof mic or do voice over x
Noted! Thanks Louise 👍
Where the heck did they do with all the immigrants that were housed there? Mark from USA
👍
Thank you!
Massive DOH, I missed the eagle carrying his arm etc, above the well! Oh well, next time I go and bring a friend, I'll pay homage! And hopefully get to go inside the church down the hill! 😂 Pilgrimages make pilgrims, each time, you explore, you must explore again ❤
The eagle is surprisingly well hidden. We’ve got an upcoming video featuring St Oswald church, and more of Oswestry. Thank you for watching and the comment. 👍
Great informative video Dan have a great weekend when it comes Phil 👍
Thanks Phil! 👍
Interesting history, some names sounded familiar👍
Thank you! 👍
Great so looking forward to seeing this x ..... it was really good and engaging as expected 😊😊
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed 😄👍
Norman built it there 🙄
I really really thoroughly enjoyed this upload ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️👍
I dont know where Wats Dyke starts or finishes. I do know it runs through part of Oswestry near the Old Oswestry Hillfort. It is also around Morda, running near EreWen and The Terraces . I went to Morda Primary school after we left Meifod and recall mediaeval pennies being found by kids in Ere Wen. It was all fields from back lanes from Morda to Oswestry, past an old water mill. There was another water mill in the centre of Morda near the Brook, which was swampy and overgrown and ancient in its ambience. Im referring to the early 1960s. The whole area swapped polities between Welsh princes and Saxons Just near Morda is Nant y cws. There are hills there and old earthworks , greenways and overgrown mining works, clay pits now flooded from the early Industrial. Revolution Gobowen is a fractured settlement , cut up by railways and other development, its decentralised. Morda is another example of a village localised integrity. The Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital is outside Gobowen and was a teaching hospital with many international student surgeons.
Massive thanks Third Rate Content, I visited Halston Hall Hospitaller Chapel, and Earthworks, then Whittington Castle, only paid for the car park £2, and then as you showed the history of Oswestry, I photographed the old timber framed buildings, went up the medieval motte, saw the guildhall, and wow the church, sadly only outside, but what a robust massive stronghold that is a church tower!!! A chap who locked up today, told me how to get to St Oswald's Well, well worth it, cause the pun,!!! Massive thanks Third Rate Content, appreciated 👍☺️👍
Yes that church is solid and grand. Thank you I very much appreciate you taking the time to comment. It can be surprising, the unexpected places you end up on a day out 👍👍
Fascinating.
Another very informative vlog about an area I knew nothing about
Thank you!
So nice to hear a informed commentary , we're considering moving towards the area, so these vlogs are so helpful, never ceases to amaze me how many of these vlogs are just someone wandering about.. thank you..
Thanks for the kind words!
Very interesting but would be more interesting if you were permitted a drone ,just a thought nice video though
Thank you!
I grew up in hodnet and my mum and dad still live at the top of the village. I remember playing out with my mates and people from all over would come to the church even back in the late 90s. I remember three men once who were in the church yard and they asked us if we knew anyway to get into the church from the underground via the bear pub. Apparently there's catacombs or a tunnel that link the bear pub with the church.
It wouldn’t surprise me, it’s very interesting to hear these things. Did you hear of any first hand accounts?
@@thirdratecontent585 Nah. A few kids say they found there way in but reckon they were having us on. Apparently there used to be a way in through the hundred house at the top of the hill as well. My mate used to live there and we could never find anything that looked like a way into it. If it was ever true it has probably been lost to time now. My mum reckons it was an escape passage for priests who were being persecuted back in the day but who knows. It was an interesting place to grow up.
Shropshire is a fabulous place
I concur 👍
Shrewsbury is a fabulous place.
Agreed 👍
Nice tour and storys mate, enjoyed it
Thank you 👍
👍
Thank you! 👍
If you line that one up with another within the circle (I forget which one exactly) and the top of Corndon hill, at 12.00 on midsummer's day, the sun, the top of the hill and the two stones line up exactly. Don't know if it's of any significance, but I have seen it happen.. A local pointed it out to me decades ago
Interesting to know. Thank you for sharing
Why would you not say that the Lion Hotel housed illegal immigrants? It's the truth and everyone in Shrewsbury knows it.
It definitely did, I showed it all previously. The videos are still up on the channel. Tho at the time of filming this vid I didn’t feel like going into it. Maybe you are correct and I should’ve 🧐👍
@@thirdratecontent585 yeah didnt you get physically accosted documenting that? folks shd show a little gratitude
Right. Even here in the US knows
Interesting as always, I’ve never been inside The Lion, thanks for another great video & greetings from a chilly Auckland NZ winter day!
A lot of homesick Kiwis today from Auckland. Love Shrewsbury, got a brother still there.
It’s my pleasure, and thanks for the comment 👍
Love your vids , just wanted to mention , next time you are at old st chads , look up the grave of captain benbow ( it's about halfway down the path that crosses it ) he was the uncle of the benbow that a lot of places in town are named after including the pub nearby , anyway to cut a long story short after a successful civil war he got involved with Charles I and soon ended up in trouble , no less than resulting in him facing the firing squad at Shrewsbury castle , ironically where his greatest achieved had taken place a few years earlier
@@pilch69Thank you, you’re very kind. We covered the late Captain a bit here 👍 ruclips.net/video/Hk11OjxP52o/видео.htmlsi=lD5585-axnZpt7Pe
