Just had this pop up in my recommendations. Sadly its much the same after 4 months. Three of the high street banks are gone. That Scope shop has moved into the big empty Home world, with the health centre set to expand into where it was. The bubble tea shop now does waffles and ice cream. Other than that... basically the same. Interesting seeing people in the background I know, either personally, or that i just recognize in passing. There are plans for a massive overhaul of the town but we are looking at something like a decade for it to really come into fruition.

@@Soph_monro no, it was M&Co. At one point M&Co also occupied the unit next door, which is now occupied by Boots Opticians. M&Co occupied that unit for about 3 years or so, and it used to be where the (frankly insultingly small) menswear section was to be found. Honestly, I went in there once, saw how pathetically small the menswear section was, and just left. I never went in there again - no wonder they shut up shop altogether just a few years later! That unit is now so much better now that it’s Waterstones (although, an M&S Food Hall like the one in Petersfield would’ve been pretty nice!

I have a big house ive handed over for my adult kids to live and have no problem with the odd van parked up outside. As long as theres no trace left and loud music etc, its absolutely fine. Anyone who is stressing about a van outside is really odd?! Do they do a register of all cars and vehicles parked in the street every night and get angry about any unknown vehicles? Its a van not a car, caravan and awning out. Its no bigger than the standard estate car or 4x4. These people maybe van lifers but they've definitely not left the angry, pedantic, habitually frustrated rat race attitude behind.

I remember going there with my eldest sister to visit when I was 14 and don't remember seeing anything of the city. I only remember my aunt sharing how my father wasn't a nice guy. Your video makes me want to go back and spend time there and really get to know the place, and to reconnect with relatives.

I grew up in Newbury & lived there 30yrs. Moved away around 2012. Not long after Park Way opened. The Kennet Centre opened in the 80s. Has been a dingy dump for years. Northbrook St was pedestrianised in the 90s I think. Used to be two way traffic with narrow pavements. The clock tower used to be the site of an old ornate gas lamp in Victorian times which got relocated to Speen, to the west of the town centre. Newbury is very expensive to live in nowadays. The train station is popular with London commuters which keeps prices high. Nice town overall but the nicer houses require a decent sized lottery win. Unless you got lucky and bought one in the 1970s. I hope I'll move back one day, must admit I'm very fond of the place, despite the awful traffic and the high cost of living.

Just a pool and swimming in the lake but children NEVER wanted to go out. It was family run (who lived in the Chateau). Had a very nice restaurant and bar in the old buildings next to reception.

Would be interesting to weigh the van before and after conversion. I used dodomat products and some 3 way stretch carpet. I bought an end of roll oak effect vinyl flooring and a single piece plywood sheet roof panel for the rear. A few bits like stanley knife blades, foil tape, spray glue, screws. Ended up costing about £500. You have done a really nice job on your T4. 👍

Crikey don't we live in a lovely country. Oxford is beautiful. Never been myself. I'm a former Batholian; moved to Pembrokeshire - then Cork Ireland - then back to Pembrokeshire. Love the architecture of England;- absolutely exquisite masterpieces. These days however, must admit, I rather prefer the quieter beaches & scenery of West Wales ... but only MOST of the time:- can't wait to re-visit the plaaces of my youth. You've re-ignighted my passion.

Oh (NOT) cool ... the hanging tree:- i didn't know that. Thanks Claudia. Its lovely walking with you through Bath again. My first ever job, obtained through a fabrication of total lies i must be honest, was at the Royal Crescent Hotel. They asked me if I had ever done Silver Service before and I assured them that I was well trained in Silver Service, (total lie), thus I had to learn the craft in double quick time. Got the job, can you believe it !! Though my total lack of experience failed me in the end I thank the management there for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. Fine Hotel - good memories.
