Vicki Explores … Canterbury (Part 2)

[@arthurerickson5162]

Another great Vicki Explores😊 Love Canterbury! Lived there, with my family, for 1 1/2 yrs while on a teaching exchange from New Jersey. Taught chem at Kings School, and Canterbury Cathedral served as our school chapel! Many wonderful memories and still have friends there.

I went to Canterbury last year and heard an American woman filming herself with a selfie stick saying "Here we are in London". I wonder whether she uploaded it to KZbin.

[@LukeAlfordUKsteam]

England is only London. ALL OF IT

[@DanceswithDustBunnies]

I'd apologise for my moronic countrymen (and women), but there's no excuse for them. Canterbury was on my agenda back in March, before I had to cut my holiday short and come home *cries*

[@Nooticus]

Hahahaha lmao

[@caw25sha]

@@DanceswithDustBunnies Don't apologise. I am sure a lot of British people find it difficult to work out where cities like San Francisco or Los Angeles end!

[@GloveSlapnz]

@@caw25sha From NZ went to Los Angeles, I dont think we even left the LA airport until we were on the road for an hour. LA doesn't end!

[@alexhawkins6550]

Great video Vicki! Nice to welcome you again! There used to be a 3rd station in Canterbury, Canterbury South, located very close where the Kent and Canterbury Hospital is today. It closed in 1940

[@bender7565]

3rd time, one of Vicki's best and it is good to see her even if it is older stuff.

[@pocky-chan766]

I study in Canterbury so watching this just made me miss the area so much! Can’t wait to go back once the lockdown is over💖🙌🏾

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Vicki Explores returns! Such a lovely city with very interesting history

[@namnnamnson2969]

Or is it geoff.........

[@andyhill242]

A third Canterbury video, yes, please!!!

[@ianmckenna5252]

Thank you for continuing to do your shows during this time. One of the few things keeping me going! Waiting for your book to release. I preordered on Amazon.

[@Drdee1]

I studied at UKC (the University up on the hill) so it was good to see Canterbury again. Canterbury West used to be the run-down station on the slow line to London so most of us used Canterbury East. West and the area around it have now been re-generated and the HS1 trains from London stop there - so a complete reversal of fortunes for the two stations. Are you planning to cover the Crab and Winkle line in part 3? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canterbury_and_Whitstable_Railway

[@ufx808]

Vicki, I thought you were going to say "I'll be back". Very informative, thank you.👍

[@robbybobbyhobbies]

Well you’ve brought back some happy memories for me. I studied at Wye College (near the far less attractive Ashford) and then UKC from 1988 to 1992 and Canterbury was my home city. Lots has changed, but the wonderful flint churches continue to stand the test of time. Shame about the castle. Looking forward to part 3.

[@Keefa24]

Well done Vicki. An excellent video as usual. So informative and bright. Thank you for sharing! Cheers from me in Australia, and stay safe!

[@radiogoodguy6287]

Quite enjoyable. Enjoyed the historical aspects of your presentation!👍

[@mikebechley]

Wonderful place, splendid info. Thanks, Vicki!!

[@tamaracarter1836]

Canterbury is such a lovely, well preserved medieval city - with plenty to see: there’s of course the incredible Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO world heritage site (along with other medieval buildings in the city), made of beautiful French Caen stone. It’s actually the UK’s oldest cathedral in terms of when it was founded (founded in the year 597, present building started in 1070), and holds lots of very important 12th-15th century medieval stained glass - the largest collections of medieval stained glass remaining in Europe is actually shared between a handful of cathedrals in England and France. Canterbury also contains St. Augustine’s Abbey and St. Martin’s church (oldest church in the English speaking world built in 597AD), historic river tours, medieval town walls, churches and gates, Canterbury Castle and of course charming old narrow streets, lined with medieval half-timbered buildings. All round a great city indeed!

[@francessullivan2559]

ruined by the local council

[@lawrencemorriss9018]

Geoff looks different in this one...

[@henrymendoza8295]

🤣🤣🤣

[@timwills4481]

I bought all three of your and Geoff's books. They are quite good, and should help on my next trip to England.

[@Ulleskelf]

I'm watching this in Canterbury. It rained when you were here for All the Stations and rained on this day. That's unlucky as eastern Kent is one of the driest parts of the UK.

[@Nooticus]

Informative video! Thanks Vicki!

[@norbitonflyer5625]

0:51 Which way? from Canterbury East station to Canterbury West, you walk almost due north, through the city centre. Whoever named the stations must have had a very faulty compass.

[@ameliareid1030]

It may be like that but there are roads within Canterbury such as Northgate linked to the Roman Wall round the town and also Westgage Towers is why there is Canterbury West. There also used to be a Canterbury South Station

[@pj100565]

Norbiton Flyer it is said that Canterbury East is actually west of Canterbury West.

[@goodi2shooz]

Thank you so much for teaching me history! I always got mixed up the Henrys and the Thomases

[@iancamp5523]

Love these Vicki visits video’s . Particularly the Canterbury ones. Can’t you make longer videos Vicki?

[@llwyde1104]

Enjoyed that!

[@HenrysAdventures]

Another great video! I love to visit Canterbury!

[@sergiobasilioli384]

Great video Vicki!

[@baruchpinnick811]

Nice and interesting video. I felt that I was there.

[@adlam97531]

Great video , thank you

[@markiangooley]

Went to Canterbury (among other places) with a group from the USA & Canada in 2015. Didn’t see much apart from the Cathedral... of course the place where Thomas was killed... and we did go to the church where Thomas More’s head ended up.

[@iamreg1965]

Vicki, and when you do reach the 20th century in Canterbury you must avail yourself of a copy of the album "In the Land of Grey and Pink" by Caravan, a "Canterbury Scene" rock band formed in the city circa 1968. The Canterbury Scene (or Sound) is one of the more distinct aspects of what the initiated call Progressive Rock.

[@cobweb1989]

The Thomas Becket was my favourite pub when I lived in Canterbury. Served Harveys; a proper beer!

[@adavies311]

Loving the the view outside pret where was Geoff

[@Ulleskelf]

Good work at 7:56 getting a train passing over the level crossing behind Westgate Tower

[@johnstilljohn3181]

That was a good spot, mate...

[@2H80vids]

Someone was paying attention.😁

[@Andrewjg_89]

Yes part 2 of Vicki Explores of Canterbury. You could do Maidstone because it’s the county town of Kent and has 3 railway stations. Maidstone East, Maidstone West and Maidstone Barracks.

[@danielboulton98]

I always get these two towns mixed up for some reason lol

[@ivorwhitecar]

I live here and it's always good to reminded of the city's history. I just wish our council would remember it too, but that's another story.

[@alansmith2857]

Thanks for another great episode about one of my favourite cities - beautifully done. 'Pilgriming' is a wonderful neologism and, strictly speaking, Christians - medieval or modern - have never 'worshipped' saints (that's reserved for God) but 'venerated' them. Like Becket before him, Thomas More was also made a saint, but it took much longer in his case: 1935! This was a controversial move as he was, by all accounts, rather a nasty piece of work!

[@thomasmann9216]

Excellent video. Fun, entertaining and informative.

[@FarlandHowe]

More please

[@Thomas_Ekstrom]

Yes, finally !!

[@TheUphillracer]

Is it only me that thinks Henry looks like Geoff doing his Mad Monk impression in the cover pic?

[@leohoward7282]

Good to see the vickster back on an explore.

[@rosiefay7283]

8:23 "likely friend" Isn't it *known* that Shakespeare and Marlowe collaborated?

[@robc9845]

Did you stand outside that Pret to deliberately wind Geoff up?😂😂

[@SamSitar]

Henry has an interesting scarf.

[@VictoriaPichel]

so... this was life before covid... i can barely remember... hopefully one day not too far in the future you'll be able to go back exploring... xx

[@blackmanjohn9]

Please, O please can we get Vicki to do a TV Series on Castles and their influence on English History. PLEASE.

[@sandraisaacs9931]

Thanks Vicki

[@mayabashova]

[@daveherbert6215]

A 3rd visit please

[@MonkeymagicsMum]

Anyone else getting lowkey panic when Vicky touches the door open button at 0:10? OMG handgel/soap and water/hand gloves/preferably all three! #germaphobe #covid19life

[@russellgray1426]

I have just noticed a “thumbs down”, just one! I reckon it was that Marshall bloke 😎

[@JeSuisRene]

Yeah. Whoever he is... 🤔

[@steveparkinson8887]

Off with his head!!

[@johnsmith-qf1op]

Avoid public transport.

[@stevecriddle]

Sadly the Canterbury Tales visitor attraction has now closed down.
