Good evening! Thank you very much for over 8,100 subscribers - I'm really happy you're enjoying the walks, and it's always wonderful to see your lovely comments on the videos - do keep them coming :) This evening, we'll be going for a walk around the centre of Yarm, which as we mention on our walk has lost many of its medieval landmarks through floods and fires over the centuries. One former landmark also stood next to the parish churchyard, and was a grammar school built back in 1590. The school survived the great flood in 1771 - but it was later demolished in 1885.
What a beautiful town Yarm is, incredible that there are so many old buildings still in existence. The viaduct is undoubtedly impressive, I am always amazed that something on that scale could have been built in that period of time. Thank for sharing picturesque Yarm and it's fascinating history.
It really is a wonderful place - and it looks particularly gorgeous on a sunny day! The viaduct too really stands out all over the town - it only took two years to build, and it's amazing to think how they put things up like that in the Victorian age as you say! Thank you very much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and found it an interesting watch :)
Thanks for another great Walk. What a charmingly beautiful town, Yarm is, and quite amazingly, the railway viaduct seems to add to that charm and beauty. Just loving these walks. So nice to hear the natural sounds (both human and animal) of the places you bring to us. Makes it feel like we're there ourselves. Absolutely wonderful. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Yarm certainly has a lot of charm to it as you say, and the railway viaduct almost seems like a piece of natural scenery that dominates the town's skyline, I love it! Thank you very much for the kind comments about the walks, rest assured there are many more to come over the next few months, with lots of blue-sky, summer walks to see as the nights draw in through winter. Stay tuned :)
OH SUPER MERCI LET'S WALK POUR CETTE ADMIRABLE PROMENADE VERDOYANTE ET PASSIONNANTE !.. MON COUP DE COEUR VA À YARM TOWN HALL ET À SES BANCS CONVIVIAUX AINSI QUE HOPE HOUSE IMPRESSIONNANTE DE BEAUTÉ AINSI QUE ST. MARY MAGDALENE MAJESTUEUSE !.. BONNE JOURNÉE !..
De rien! Et merci comme toujours pour regarder le vidéo, Yarm est une ville vraiment belle et pleine d'histoire dans ses édifices magnifiques que vous mentionnez :) Bonne journée à vous aussi!
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Yarm is such a lovely town with a great history, you're very lucky to live there indeed :)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Yarm is a lovely place to see up close! Thank you very much for watching and especially for subscribing - I'm very grateful for it :)
Ha ha! It certainly is a lovely place - especially on a great sunny day like this, well worth the visit if you ever get the chance :) Thank yous o much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice walk in the town of Yarm on a sunny day. I enjoyed it very much. Your history lessons are always great and your walks are always wonderful and enjoyable. I like the medieval town of Yarm. Very beautiful and historical. Can't wait to see more soon. How is your weekend going? My weekend is going great. Have you ever went to Glastonbury in England?. I heard it's a great place to visit and walk. Have a great day. 👍😀
Thank you very much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Yarm is full of fascinating historic sites and some gorgeous scenery, not to mention that grand viaduct :) I haven't ever been to Glastonbury before - I've never managed to get tickets for the music festival but I'm sure the village is a nice place to visit too :)
Yarm's a nice enough place (I live a coupe of miles away) but as a actual town centre its nots so good. Its been taken over by expensive coffee places and designer shops selling tat at silly prices. All the useful / interesting shops have closed. And the traffic is hell! btw, the most attractive part is to cross the river and bear right up up the hill to Egglescliffe village - seriously historic and little visited.
Thank you very much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Yarm is indeed a lovely place, but as you well know that busy High Street and bridge are a bit of a bottleneck at times! Still, it's not a bad place to sit in traffic :)
Wow just had memory blast from past bus load of us went over from Carlisle to TALL TREES nightclub now no more new estate building on site good.... stuff as usual 👌
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - I hope you had a good night back then coming to Yarm all the way from Carlisle! Hopefully this video brought back some good memories of that trip for you too :)
Thanks for the great walk. I'm impressed with the cleanliness in some of these small market towns. No cigarette butts or gum wrappers on the pavements. Can I ask... Is the word Wynd pronounced like to wind a watch, or like the wind blows?
You're welcome! Thank you very much for watching and commenting as always - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, Yarm is a gorgeous place and as you mention a very tidy one too :) On the word 'Wynd', it's pronounced as in to 'wind' a watch - as far as I know the two words share a root, as when you wind a watch, you make it go, and the 'Wynd' that refers to alleyways lets you 'go' to other places! That may be a bit tenuous, but the origin seems to be the same!
A direction post a few miles away once had a ? graffiti'd on it after the name Yarm. Ever since we saw it, we've referred to Yarm? in a questioning tone of voice, a bit like Scooby-Doo sounding confused.
Great vid BUT north of the Tees wasn't Scots influenced. It was heavily Anglo Saxon. There is South Sax (Sussex) East Sax (Essex) and West Sax (Wessex) North of the Tees could be called North Sax but it had been called Northumberland long before the Anglo Saxons got there. Love these vids it's almost like I'm walking around with you
Very much so! Thank you very much for pointing that out - it's a good insight into the long history of this magnificent country, which as you mention was once a world of riveting different kingdoms :) Thank you so much for watching too - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
INTERESTED IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND - BILLINGHAM, DARLINGTON, MIDDLESBROUGH, NEWCASTLE, STOCKTON, YORK & YARM NEIGHBOURS & LOCAL HISTORY Most people living in the North of England think they know their neighbours and local history but how would you know your neighbour worked for MI6? Most who knew the Fairclough family didn’t have a clue that from the seventies Bill Fairclough was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps. Bill's parents met during the Second World War when his father, ostensibly working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), worked secretly on creating bombs to wipe out the Nazi's industrial hinterland. They married in Yarm in 1941. After the war in Europe ended in May 1945, Dr Richard Alan Fairclough continued to work for British Intelligence (MI1). Not long after retiring from ICI in the seventies, Richard Fairclough opened and ran an antiquarian book shop business in Yarm until his death in 1987. The book shop was a bit of an enigma as it was also a haunt for spooks. When not gated at St Peter’s School, York Bill Fairclough spent most of his childhood and early teens in the North East of England. As a child in the fifties he was educated at Red House School in Norton. He lived in Billingham and then in a vast white house (once the home of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley) in Norton Green overlooking the duck pond. In Bill’s teens, the Faircloughs lived in Middleton St George and later in Yarm. He also lived in flats he rented near nightclubs he helped run during the late sixties and early seventies in Portrack, Stockton-on-Tees and Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne. Conveniently for him they were near the offices of the firm of Chartered Accountants he worked for in Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne. So if you lived, worked or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered this “spooky” family, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs! Details of where the Faircloughs lived and worked are given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974.

Lovely town enhanced greatly by the bricked road surfaces. Shame about the traffic though!
