- In this video I take a walk down the medieval street called The Shambles in York centre, North Yorkshire, England. It is a street of the butchers of York and was mentioned in the Domesday Book of William the Conqueror and takes its name from the word 'Shamel' which means the stalls or benches where the meat was displayed. It was rebuilt in 1400 AD.

This is like walking into a story book of fairytales😍, the buildings and some of the shop names magical - curious though that so many are so lightly dressed folk, mind you last time I was in the UK in December, I wore short sleeve tops to go shopping too😀 ....gorgeous walk thanks Paul
Thank you for the lovely comment Miss Melly. The Shambles has quite a history and gave the English language the term 'what a shambles' and 'shambolic'.
This was shot in August and we had some great weather this Summer.
What a lovely place and I love the names of the shops, very clever! I imagine all the people walking through these streets for hundreds of years. Hopefully, one day I will visit this enchanging village. Thanks for sharing, a Yankee from New York! :)
I’m pleased you enjoyed the video and this street.
As a matter of interest I would urge you to google the origins of the street name ‘shambles’ where it comes from and how now that word has its meaning in our everyday language.
I actually love learning about the fascinating world of the origins of everyday words.
5:58 boris having a walk
😀
Lol 🤣 🇬🇧 it does
So many colourful shops ... and so British and beautiful. It's like stepping back in time, except for the modern clothing.
Hi Lyn - glad you liked it. It's one of our most famous and ancient streets in Britain.
This was lovely to watch - thank you for taking us on this walk. It almost seems surreal, being taken in time to a medieval street, and it also showing the world a few short weeks before it changed as we knew it. ✨
I am pleased you enjoyed the tour Vanessa. Yes, everything is different now.
@@paultsworld why whats changed ?
@@barryorbik215 Covid, so at that time the streets were empty.
@@paultsworld ahh ok, I see, but everything is OK now
@@barryorbik215 Yes, all back to normal
Like something out off harry potter
You’re right!
No York Ghost Merchants yet. Now there is always a line of people there trying to get in.
That’s true!
As an American, I find this very fascinating. i'd love to visit one day, probably in my dreams. I'm not very happy about that 5 pound tea, though.
You'll have to come on over here once the present situation is "sorted" - it is a nice city, very compact, masses of history and easy to walk round.
Hey, I noticed there's a greggs at the end, probably get a cuppa a bit Cheaper than that, so don't worry 😉
Oh my goodness, this is the real Diagon Alley! So quaint and charming :)
Glad you enjoyed the walk!
Straight out of a fairytale. You don't get this in Australia! I wish I were English.
It certainly is an interesting street because of its history through the centuries.
Ah boris johnson visited in this video near end of video where was the Ghost merchants?
He does look similar!
Probably wondering if he could find somewhere for another Covid party....but York is glorious!
The real Harry Potter would have shopped here ...
The road is thin because it was made for horses and carriages cars wasnt even invented 600 years later
Wouldn't it be interesting to jump back 600 years and experience life without cars?
@@paultsworld Take all the motorised machines out that town and wear medieval clothing and you'll get a feeling of what it was like 😂👍
Ha, ha!!
Best place for souvenirs in uk
Yes, plenty of shops in this street.
Thank you. I had plans to see... As a person who lives vintage, kind of bummed to see what's inside shops-modern stuff. Lovely outside of buildings, of the buildings dark, warm colors. Take care
Thank you Fran - I am pleased you like the colouring of my video.
It's true the inside of the shops are very "commercial".
I would recommend a visit at dusk when the atmosphere is all there and not many people, so you can get the experience you are looking for. The tremendous history and these buildings are real.
I went in early December 2019 and weather was gorgeous. Very cool because it was late autumn but damn it was fun. (Attended my cousin’s wedding at The Principle Hotel).
I'm so pleased the weather was nice for the wedding and you enjoyed this interesting place.
Paul T's World Paul it was bloody excellent. I had a good feed in one of the Tea rooms upstairs in The Shambles about half way up on the left handside the morning after the wedding because I was so hungover.
Memories are made of this!
You can not visit York and not walk down the shambles. It's like going to Blackpool and not going up the tower.😂🏴
Ha, ha - very well put! 👍
Can't imagine the medieval times there...the sheer horrors those streets saw...
That’s a good point - quaint and picturesque didn’t exist in those days.
At 5:41 you get to see a guy pick his nose and look at his prize.
Yes, but what about the medieval buildings 😃
@@paultsworld missed em. Ha ha. York is beautiful. My kids love it. To them it’s a real Diagon Alley.
They were the oldish looking buildings 😀.
Glad you and the kids enjoyed yourselves there - great city.
Great video would love to go to the shambles, been the steam train museum which was great but didn’t have time to go to the shambles I’ve subscribed as I said last night. this is the first video I’ve watched but will definitely be watching more all the best with your channel
I visited the train museum - was astounded at the number ot trains and the quality of the exhibition. I should have done a video of it!
Thank you for subscribing- I really appreciate it.
What is the history of this place? it looks like a village from another time..
Glad you found it interesting. It is the best preserved Medieval street in the World. Many of the buildings date back to a period between 1350 to 1475. It was once lined with butcher’s shops and stalls for displaying meat known as “Shamels” in Anglo-Saxon. The name 'Shambles' came from those butcher's shops.
@@paultsworld That's so amazing, I would love to see it someday, I live in Michigan, but my Grandparents migrated from Newcastle , I've heard so many stories of home, but they never told me about this place, I definitely have to see it now, hopefully next year if Covid is done by then.
Hope you can make it over here next year - there's so much history. Newcastle is pretty ancient too - started as a Roman fort in 122AD. It was renamed 'Newcastle' during Norman rule in 1080 when William the Conqueror was around. It has a great waterfront - modern structures mixed in with historic buildings.
@@paultsworldMy grandfather told me a little of the history, but I didn't know it had started as a fortress.. so much to learn, I had a hard time understanding him, he was originally fr liverpool and had a very thick accent, I grew up in Rhode island and I remember him saying he was disappointed because it looked so much like home.. He wanted to take to a place called Snowdonia to go fly fishing but we never made it, so, I have lots to do to see some of the places of my ancestry.. Thank you so much. 😊
That's interesting your grandfather told you of Snowdonia. I love the area and the small lakes are still there full of trout with fly-fishing available. If you'd like a taste of the countryside of Snowdonia National Park - check out my video ruclips.net/video/jfKKKyDXirM/видео.html This shows some of my favourite views of the area.
Went to York recently on my first ever solo holiday. Really enjoyed it so much. Such a lovely place and not a bad person in sight. I would love to visit again
Well done going on a solo holiday and having a good time. You’ll have to do more trips. Other places you might enjoy would be Chester, Lincoln, Cambridge, Canterbury.
Why isn't anyone looking up? I
I’ll have to watch it again to check that out!
I was in York about 3 weeks ago and oh my it was it was incredible.The Shambles is almost like walking in a fairytale.The shops is gorgous,especially the Potions and Cauldrons
Glad you enjoyed your York visit and the Shambles.
Such a beautiful little street
It certainly is.
I must admit it was a bit Annoying to hear an American above the locals , tourists ruin the experience
Of course when I was filming it I was also a tourist.
Tourists are literally the reason most of those shops can stay in business.
I come across this attitude a lot in York. Happy to accept tourists money though
Most Americans started out as extremely courageous Brits. You, coming from a more pathetically weak bloodline, I can certainly understand your petty jealousy.
If you don’t like tourists, I suggest you visit Leicester. You’ll be happier there.
Abndoned now? Why?
No, the street isn’t abandoned - it’s still a major attraction.
On facebook it's on the abandoned places site. That's why I commented that..
It's very popular - I wonder if Facebook means during Covid?
At night, this has gotta be the most magical place ever ha
I need to revisit as I didn’t see it at night!
Cool
Who's the cute guy with the kegs? :)
ha, ha - I don't know.
Real life diagon alley
It certainly is!
framerate a little too low
Did you see some ‘judder’?
Was that man hitting the pen?
I don’t know.
Yeah, he was vaping.
The only thing not to love about York is it’s Duke
Thanks for watching.
Great place
Unless you like pizza.......
