Such a shame to see Ashford like this, with many shops closed and building works going on! However glad to see you walked past Poppin's, shame they only have 2 left in Kent in Ashford/Tunbridge Wells- I rememberwhen they had 14 in Kent-one of my favs was the one in Bexleyheath! The Joh Wallis Bar was great-what a shame 😢
Medway towns work in only 2 ways: The are the 'well kept and orderly towns and then there are the ones that are unfortunately 'infested' with the scum that drags the towns down for those the majority want to live in the 'former'. Ashford is one of the latter. Yes there is lots of developers building to sell to foreign investors (who have not got a 'clue' where Ashford actually is!) who will just rent them out to student city and cash-in after a couple of years rent. The 'non-existent high street and vacant shopping centre has been replaced with upteen kebab and barber shops and nothing else. Such a shame that the town is not up there with some of it's better inhabited neighbouring medway towns. Time for a clean-up Ashford Council!. Developers are only developing in this town for rental sales, nothing else (although the councils 'rare' advertising campaigns will try to tell you different. (with its misplaced 'designer centre' and it's 'so-called' international station - which people only use to pass through Ashford to get to Europe!...ironic such an exspensive opportunity was missed!. As you will see in this video, the place is a boarded-up, non-discriptive ghost town!.
Tories have controlled Ashford since 1885, if you want the town to improve you can't keep voting for the same party and expecting things to change. Vote Labour.
It’s not a patch on what Ashford used to be sadly.
Another beauty in Britain's crown of mesmerizing towns.... Thank You Very Much
Great video. Brings back memories. I loved in Ashford from 1957-67
A very tidy town it looks. Tudor homes never fail to impress. Thank you.
Indeed, thanks again for watching!

It’s like a ghost town
Lovely Ashford..nice and quiet...Liquid down Somerset Rd
Looks like it could become a nice place but half of the shops are closed down which is never a good sign.

Nice little tour of the town centre. It's a shame Ashford town centre is always so quiet these days though.
I really enjoyed it. Keep it up

14:45 в Архангельске (Россия) такой же танк на улице стоит. От английских интервентов достался большивикам.

Ashford is not a Medway town, it has the River Stour not the Medway , there are only 5 Medway towns, Rochester, Gillingham , Chathem, Strood, Rainham
Except. Ashford isnt a medway town.
@@neilsmith292 True. Well, of the five that there are, I would add Ashford and its 'river' stour to that category.
Does the international station not go to Paris now? Does it go to London and Folkstone high speed?
I live in ashford not a ghost town but too many chavs and roadmen or brexit geezers
