This is my local town, I’ve grown up my whole life in Barton, you certainly did its rich history justice.

[@fordpopular8792]

Barton has lovely buildings

[@comic759]

Taking pictures of the Humber bridge early morning or late night in the dark is kind of beautiful because it looks so beautiful looking at from the seating area.

Thank you for this wonderful video of Barton. My father resides in Scotland now, but was born on Chemical Lane (now Maltkins Road) back in the 40s, and his uncle Bill Graves was the foreman at the Ropery for many years. A trip to Barton always includes a visit to Benson’s Butcher shop for some Lincolnshire sausages. Thank you once again.

[@TheVillageIdiot]

Thanks for sharing!

My mum worked in the Ropery back in the 60s,he was probably her Foreman.😀

Its a fascinating town Andy and yes you have done a great job, we have walked over the bridge a few times over the years and luckily enough both paths were open , i love history and St Peter's is fascinating with a fantastic exhibition

[@bilko529]

My dads hometown. Hes long gone but i love visiting and love the town. I always call into bensons butchers to get a ton of their lincolnshire sausage because they are almost the same as the ones my grandad made when he was a butcher in the town. Your opening shot showed his old home on barrow road he moved their from green lane .

[@TheVillageIdiot]

Ah that's great! Love a good little anecdote! And as a Lincolnshire boy myself, can't resist a good bit of Lincolnshire sausage :D

[@MrJasdog107]

[@TheVillageIdiot]

Just across the road from Barton Rail Station used to be Barton Ropery, that ran down to the foreshore of the River Humber, I know because I used to work there (first cycling daily, from Grimsby until I found lodging on Barrow Road opposite Baysgarth School) before moving to Falcon Cycles next to the Elswich Hopper site you did cover. Happy Memories. Tony in Essex

[@TheVillageIdiot]

Barton Ropery is in this Tony

[@user-TonyUK]

OK I just to the review of the Halls Barton Ropery, so any suggestion you missed are my fault not Yours. I was working at the Ropery while they built the Humber Bridge.

[@user-TonyUK]

I can also remeber being told that the Barton Rail station at one time was NOT the end of the line as it continued to Scunthorpe, but that was gone when I lived and worked in Barton-upon-Humber in the Early to Mid 1970s (1973 to 1976) Tony in Essex

[@user-TonyUK]

What little bit is left of it, I worked on the Rope Walk, most of which was outdoors walking down the River Humber, Great in the Summer, dreadfull in the Winter I worked there. At least the viedo brings back happy memories. @@TheVillageIdiot

[@Anyonewl]

My dads Uncle Bill Graves, who lived at Railway Villas, was the foreman at the Ropery for many years.

[@sallyroydhouse192]

You've done a great job with this one Andy & family, it's a huge place to cover. I lived in Barton for a few years but I don't think I came across half of those old buildings you showed us so very interesting. My overriding memory of Barton was living in a house (off W. Acridge) that experienced poltergeist activity so I was happy to leave but can't help wonder if the activity continued after I left. :)

[@TheVillageIdiot]

Ooo spooky! Haha. I love a ghost story or two! Thanks Sally!

[@sallyroydhouse192]

@@TheVillageIdiot Brilliant, maybe you should do a walkabout Halloween special next year or a Tales From the Fireside if you have any spooky encounters to tell us about on your travels :)

[@002lisamarie]

It looks nice.

[@stephencook4738]

You say on the video that you don't know where the name for Charlie's Bar comes from. I always thought it was after the landlady's son, Charlie, but I've since found out that it's after one of the regular's dogs.

[@seanvgodfrey66]

Nice one Andy. (but shocked by the number of ads they’ve crammed into this one…lost count)

[@TheVillageIdiot]

Tell me about it. This wont be a problem next year. 3 maximum in every video all manually placed

[@comicbookguygamecat]

I do have a dvd about Humber bridge about how it was made i posted it on twitter and tagged you.
