I went to the Tech College in the 1960s when it situated up the top of Torguay. It was all pulled down long ago, I understand, and replaced with housing. This is as close as I want to get. Returning to places you knew in your youth is so often a mistake.
@@YanksandBritsProductions Not nice people. Pay no heed to what you see in any brochure material or a well framed RUclips video; instead try living in what constitutes real Torquay for just one month, you'll see what a chav ridden dive this town has been systematically transformed into over the last 35 years.
Good video, I stopped using my gopro cameras when I got my note 20 ultra as it blows the gopro away on quality and sound, just gotta get rid of my gopro 8 now
Moved away twenty years a go, went back and it's had the heart ripped out, worst thing they could have done making Union and Fleet street a pedestrian precinct. Paignton just seems to be charity shops and drug pushers. Problem is Torbay has always had Champagne visions but missed the mark on domestic holiday makers and lost the conference market.
Very noticeable that it didn't go to the top end of town...... where all the addicts/ homeless hang out, next to the Factory Row homeless shelter. Not judging, just saying.... 🙂
@@davids736 It's tragic. I've spent alot of time here but first time back in years. Not sure what's gone wrong, whether it's lack of industry and employment but it's changed so much
Looks a lovely town !! Does anyone know if the long road is used mainly for buses, little trains, taxis but also bicycles as l only saw one in the video?
Disappointing. I would have thought, being a main tourist attraction and the money that pours into it, it would be a bit more polished and up-market. Still too much seaside rock and fish'n'chips feel to it.
Nice video. I look forward to see more in Devon. Thanks for share this 🤩
Nice walk. Nice town
Thanks
excellent video
Thank you

A shadow of its former self
I went there on a language course in 1992, and I'm now living in Suffolk and I'm hoping to take my kids

We're here now, and you're so right. It's like two different towns once you get past Tesco express
@@nealt992 yep, that's exactly right. My hometown, it's very sad....

It should be buses only. No through traffic. 👍🏻
Fleet street is buses only.However lorries can make deliveries before 9am as long as the don't block the road.
Back when Starbucks was there but its now gone, we have Taco Bell now by where Debenhams was
