As sad as it is for business, I love this film. The City taking a breather. I was born and grew up in Canterbury and it was quite often empty after the shops closed, and on a Sunday.
I lodged, dated, befriended, studied, graduated, married and was home in Canterbury, then lived and was widowered in Whitstable where I'm now lockdowned in 2020. For me Canterbury is saturated with associations and packed with picturesqueness. I miss it. Thanks for making and posting this, Mr Walker.
Thank you for an interesting video - strange to see Canterbury, a city that I love, devoid of people. Also sad for the many birds and animals grown accustomed to the bread crusts that people provide. Here in New Zealand, we have now moved to Level 2, so shops and businesses are able to operate once again. A tough time for many, to be sure.
You got the day when there were less cars around. It's been busier when I have been food shopping over the last week or so. Especially Tesco Metro and other shops. Well done. I liked the shots including the semi derelict Debenhams store. It's good to know that there is investment in Canterbury's future post Pandemic with the long shut Curry's Digital due to become Slug and Lettuce and a bar which I am sure will get the permission.
It’s like death has come for us all, I feel like I’m in the middle of a Transylvanian vampire movie where everyone has scurried away from the town center everyone has shut their windows and boarded their houses. Ridiculous
Thanks Geoff, I do live in Canterbury - close to the centre. It's been great during the lockdown. I've had my city back for a few weeks. No Tourists and no students (50,000 students based in Canterbury now)

Thanks a lot!
Looks like a nice place, and hope is all good cheers Robert

Thanks for showing us how it’s going in beautiful Canterbury. Stay well.
Thanks, you too!

So true
Oh how I do miss Canterbury! We live there, but are stuck 6000 miles away because of the virus.

It ws genuinely beautiful when I was a boy, in the 1960s. It's a Kharzi now. Great place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there.
