  • DEWSBURY | Full tour of Dewsbury Town Centre in West Yorkshire | 4K Walking Tour
    We took the Gimbal Walk TV cameras to Dewsbury to explore the town centre streets from Dewsbury Market, around the town to check out the Town Hall, The Railway Station and the shops and cafes in the Town Centre.
    Dewsbury is a minster town within the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, in West Yorkshire, England. It lies on the River Calder and an arm of the Calder and Hebble Navigation waterway. It is to the west of Wakefield, east of Huddersfield and south of Leeds
    Dewsbury is a town in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, east of Huddersfield and south of Leeds. It lies by the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation. Known as a booming 19th century mill town, Dewsbury experienced decline before entering a period of regeneration, with derelict mills transformed into flats. Some districts of Dewsbury, such as Batley Carr, Hanging Heaton and Staincliffe, also lie in Dewsbury's neighbouring town of Batley.

    I've never been to Dewsbury......thank you for the tour 🙂. I imagine that years ago with the woollen trade, this was a bustling and very busy town centre. Some lovely old buildings and looks to be a fairly large market.

      Worked as a Saturday girl in Woolworths. Danced in the amature dramatics Collegians pantomines and musicials. In the 60s and 70s this town was buzzing and a gathering of brilliant Northern people.
      The market was visited by many. So sad to see this once brilliant place go down the tubes. Breaks my heart.

    The market stalls were exactly like that when I was there 35 years ago. I can't believe Boots is still there after 35 years. I remember WMSmith was next to Boots. I really missed Dewsbury a lot. I moved around quite a bit in Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Birstall when I was a student at DABTEC 35 years ago.

    Suggest the date of filming be prominent, a visit to railway and bus station to illustrate how we move around, and a prediction that in a decade the traffics fic will be a lot quieter.

      If a place becomes "overrun" by a particular group, there is always two reasons for this. 1. People moving there 2. People moving out. I just say White Flight.
      If people would be ready to live together in harmony and not always move out as soon as they see a few people from another skin colour, culture or religion, then there wouldn't be that many empty houses where this particular group can move into. People need to stand their ground and not run away as soon as foreigners move into the area. We should move together and try to live peacefully as one community and not to segregate ourselves all the time. As a Muslim myself, I adress the Muslims but also the British people with this. Both sides should be more open. I live in a mixed neighbourhood and we support each other as neighbours no matter what background.

      @@DamnDealDone As I said... If people would not always move out as soon as a new group moves into the area, then there would be not that many empty properties so that an area can become "overrun" by a group. If the White British would stand their ground and welcome the new neighbours and vice versa then we could live together with respect and tolerance. Intolerance comes mostly from ignorance. The new group would need to adapt a bit without giving up their identity. The White British moved out of Dewsbury as they saw all the beards and headscarfs and that's why Dewsbury is maybe now overrun. The native community gave their own town up and now complaining about how it is now. People giving up and just leaving are same responsible for this situation.

Also building super mosques in unsympathetic architecture amongst victorian architecture is a spit in the face of this county's heritage. Many buildings are suitable for mosques. We are not creating this separate community, you are. This is self imposed. We just leave once an area gets ruined. Notice though that poor and mentally handicapped usually stay in these areas.
