36:12 Those markers were placed on the floor to mark the trail walked by the Chartists on their way to the Westgate Hotel 🙂. Only fairly recently they were all laid, and were funded by "Our Chartist Heritage", who were the volunteers maintaining the Westgate, and who now have that shop in the City Centre we've spoken about before 🙂.
Thank you mate, it was amazing exploring up there but I feel it needs another visit. I can't believe I deleted the food review. I feel like a complete newb haha. So many amazing little streets, must have an amazing history up there
That estate agent sign looked foreboding, Crook & Blight = sounds like Newport!!! If you thought that hospital looked derelict? you should see Panteg!! The old water fountain outside of St.Woolos Cathedral used to be outside the top gate of Belle Vue Park. I wondered what happened to it? I last saw it in the late 80s. The park you sat down to eat your food was a cemetery, there used to be tomb stones and headstones going down the park. I hoped rested were removed properly not just the stones!!?? I used to go to Queens Comp. On Stow Hill , used to eat my food in the same park.
Looks like I'm going to Panteg haha, I love exploring places I've been. We both have good taste because the view from that park is pretty awssome. Shame about the local crack head here and there lol
It’s so strange seeing someone explore and be taken back by the Handpost 😂 I used to live opposite the church, you showed my old house. Curry and chips from the Slow Boat was a staple and all three Indians there are excellent. I still regularly go to the pub.
Wow thank's you for this brings back memories of home pill was okay but it got worse people are saying there's this good chipie on pill next to new street . If you can maybe you could do something of DUFFRYN HIGH SCHOOL 🏫 MAYBE go around school ❤
The Jewish place, that's their Synagogue, which obviously is the Jewish equivalent to a Christian Church. And then the lane next to it is actually known as Jew's Wood, if ever you've heard it mentioned around Newport 🙂.
I tried slow boat a few years back and I was massively disappointed, I just don't understand the hype it gets the chips rice and curry sauce we're all shit tbf.
4:35 You need to do better sniff and put your face deep into the bushes. 5:10 you have ended all snails of the future, now extinct. 7:15 Lavatree. 11:15 Channel name drop, lol. 21:00 Clewer Court is now flats. Now is it haunted. Mike, you missed something, 31:45 Look Scott, a post-box. Great history vlog of Newport. 38:45 I see it all the time, they are scum. 39:40 Bonus part. 40:50 3sec rule on the pancake roll. 41:35 You are just being Mike.

Clewer court was originally built in 1906 as a orphanage, but was later converted into flats
@@TraceyKing-bw4of Was that the massive building I had a look at?
