Thanks for the video. My home city. Lovely to see. Nostalgic
You’re welcome
Hello to all, what a beautiful place. From Worcester, South Africa 🇿🇦
Quite an interesting video. I've lived in Worcester all my life and have never seen any of this.
Actually, I live in your sister city of Worcester, Massachusetts, roughly 3,204 miles away.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful city. Looking forward to the upcoming cricket season as I am able to watch it here.
Love it thank you! I live 30 mins from Worcester and visit often. Not sure if you knew but the building at 20:16 is free to go in and have a look round. Hope you enjoyed 😊
Loved it there
Am going back this summer so will pop in that building
Thanks so much for the info it’s really appreciated
Obviously, this is Worcester England, so far it's alot nicer than Worcester Massachusetts 🇺🇸. And that's my hometown 🥺
A vary good & fantastic video of WORCESTER - A full Town Tour!🧡🧡😎😎✔✔
Edward Elgar's farthers music shop is the building that's now Next in the high street, hope you had mooch around the cathedral the Tomb of King John and Prince Arthur who would have been king but he died at 16 in Ludlow(recommend going there ) so his younger brother became king Henry Viii
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔. you are absolutely right, king Henry VIII became king of the world 😊
I've lived in Worcester all my life so sad to think I will die in this vile place.
Looks like a nice place but as always in towns theses days, there are quite a number of boarded up shops and businesses unfortunately down to Amazon and the internet shopping.
A lot of shops closed during the pandemic.
Was that woman at around 18.40 asking you a question?
Or someone else?
Not sure - I’m always in my own little world when filming so didn’t see her
@@GimbalWalkTV 😂
By the way. You’ve inspired me to visit more places around the uk.
And on the strength of this video, we’ve booked a weekend away to visit this place too.
Keep up the good work 👍🏽
how the hell did that circular car park get permission to be built there?
Not sure but it needs knocking down!
Worcester got a complete facelift in the 60s. The geniuses at the council decided it was a good idea to destroy historic buildings and replace them with monstrosities like that car park.
So many historic buildings including Elgar's family music shop and the last surviving cathedral lychgate in Europe were demolished. It was a really big deal at the time and made national headlines. It was known as 'The Rape of Worcester'. It makes me sad knowing what it once was.
My psycho ex girlfriend lives in Worcester 🤪
🤣
Worcester is great, I have eaten in almost all of its restaurants!
😮😮🤣
Hello Neil are you well love your vidio its a beautiful place though I have never been I like the black and white houses they remind me of York much love and best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😅😅
Just don't go to Caspian pizza you'll be violently sick the next morning
😮😮😮
@@GimbalWalkTV when your paying less than a fiver for a pizza what do you expect? Also doesn't help that the meats been transported from Birmingham to Worcester in an unrefrigerated lorry but if people want to risk food poisoning to the max go ahead.... P.s Caspian pizza Worcester has got nothing to do with the actual Caspian pizza company that's across the Midlands they're really good not the one in Worcester though
It’s been over 30 years since I was last in Worcester and I didn’t recognise it. Great video though.
Wow! Another one I hadn’t considered. Beautiful, and the Elgar connection just adds a nice bit of Pomp and Circumstance(or maybe an Enigma…).
