Wonderful video. I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for producing such a fantastic video. ❤❤❤

[@awalkwithphil]

Thank you Harpal, much appreciated

[@Rollin-Rant]

I remember the talking weight machines, I remember that there used to be one in my old chemist and a rather large woman got on and it said, one at a time please, will the rest of you get off 😂😂. I think that there were a few complaints about it and it disappeared. Thanks Phil for your video, and have a good Christmas 🎄 👍.

[@awalkwithphil]

Merry Christmas RR love the story about the weight machine, many thanks

The metro stop into Wolverhampton and back into Birmingham is within a minute of the bus station..wonderful market, I love it .

[@alexmac337]

Great to see a market town buzzing. And look how clean the shop windows and market stalls are. People in Bilston clearly take pride in their town.

[@awalkwithphil]

Yes Alex if only the markets in West Brom were as good. Putting that aside, Bilston Markets have always set the gold standard for markets both indoor and out

[@Passin_Thru]

Nice video Phil, didn’t even know Bilston had its own little market. Might gew dewn one day !😊

[@awalkwithphil]

You wont be disappointed

[@SaltleyLad]

Hi Phil thanks for the update on Bilston market, hope to visit again in the New Year. Would agree it’s the best market around.

[@awalkwithphil]

Thanks SL all the best

[@christinewilkinson2424]

Yay! Good to see Bilston being covered, its a good little market.

[@awalkwithphil]

It's the best one around the Black Country bar none

[@joanrhodes8273]

Love bilston market ❤❤

[@RaVeR076]

Gewin' theeya' tomorra' 😂

[@MatthewHowes-h4i]

Hi Phil, really enjoy your videos, maybe a merchandise line in the new year, I'd love a I walked with Phil t-shirt.

[@awalkwithphil]

Thanks Matthew appreciate your support, I will certainly consider something along those lines very soon.

[@Amanda12325]

Bilston is a lovely little town to shop in. I love that it still has the old fashioned indoor market with absolutely everything you can think of. It’s also great to see a bakery in there with all manner of breads and cakes being baked, it brings back memories of how these little town markets once were. Great to see a shining example in Bilston. THANKS PHIL. Let’s hope it doesn’t go the same way as other small towns.

[@awalkwithphil]

Thanks Amanda, I will be visiting that bakery very soon

[@marybarratt2649]

Thanks for that Phil. I haven’t been to the markets in an age, so it was good to see what is happening. Bilston has always had a good name for shopping and it is good to see that there are plenty of shoppers. Great that money is being put into the area. Some positivity for a change, when so many towns are not thriving. Just spotted a wool shop, I shall be paying a visit. Merry Christmas Phil.😊

[@awalkwithphil]

Thanks Mary, the markets were still thriving even though its current home is temporary

[@Amanda12325]

The little wool stall is brilliant, has everything a knitter would need ❤

[@thepharcyde5239]

Bilston Markets great Phil. Love it there. I once got on the spaykin weight machine. I heard ELP thru the spayker😂😂😂😂😂 Merry Christmas Phil.😊

[@awalkwithphil]

😆 Merry Christmas to you also thanks for your support, much appreciated

[@brianbird7866]

Bilston market is great and the locals are bostin.🎉

[@amandaprice9074]

This is the best indoor market and it is all ways busy. Their bread, cobs , cakes are fantastic. Their car park is full by 08:00. The furniture stall man is very friendly and he sells good furniture. Meat stalls are good price. So well welcome

[@awalkwithphil]

Thanks Amanda its certainly the best no other market in the BC even comes close

[@Val-h4d]

Best crusty cobs from there no one else does them like that

[@awalkwithphil]

Thanks Val, I was sorely tempted to buy some but the queues were a little too long at the time.

[@kathleenreilly523]

Best market and town always busy town and don’t have to pay for parking

[@paulhill196]

Hi Phil enjoyed the walk around Bilston Market my wife comes from Bilston our favourite pubs was the Greyhound the Trumpet and at the end of the Town by the Town Hall was the white Rose it's a shame the Greyhounds gone it was a loverly old pub all the best Paul

[@awalkwithphil]

The landlord of the Greyhound said In February that he would get the pub up and running within months but sadly walking past I dont really see much sign of this happening

[@paulhill196]

@awalkwithphil Hi Phil the Greyhound is a very old pub let's hope they Rebuild it soon all the best Paul

[@mukkaspec3333]

Definitely beats the rest of the Black Country towns by the looks of it.

[@awalkwithphil]

Agreed

[@hangarfiftyonehangarfiftyo9942]

Never been there, but watching the vlog, it appears Bilston is cleaner, has more variety, and more patronised by the locals than West brom and seems a bit friendlier too

[@awalkwithphil]

Spot on HF the markets offer a good mornings shopping with a great atmosphere

[@PatDawes]

I live in West Bromwich and never shop on the market there. Much prefer Bilston and always feel safer there. Got to be the best 'old fashioned market' around. Thanks for the video Phil,keep up the good work. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a Happy New Year x

[@awalkwithphil]

@@PatDawes Merry Christmas Pat. Bilston far and away a better market experience compared to West Brom. My next video will show a bit more of how untidy the stalls are in WB Thanks for all your support

[@cymrujoy]

I used to love shopping at Bilston Market, both before and after my brain haemorrhage. Very disabled friendly, and friendly townspeople as well.

[@awalkwithphil]

You can still see CJ that Bilston markets havnt really changed much at all. All the market stalls look clean and tidy in contrast to the video ive just filmed featuring some of west broms disgraceful looking stalls

[@cymrujoy]

@awalkwithphil Quite true sadly. Bilston had a better market than West Bromwich 's since at least the Millennium.

[@SusanSanders-m9i]

Hi if want abargin go to billston market also open Sunday for brick a brac

[@kimcheshire220]

I used to have a new age shop called Angels Boutique

[@awalkwithphil]

I'd like to see a few of those in the West Brom High Street

[@Retirement1964]

The empty building opposite Dixon's butchers is proposed to be a 24 hour casino. The baker's in the market way is another extension of Matt's the bakers from inside the market.

[@awalkwithphil]

Great info, many thanks

[@pepelepew2690]

Wolverhampton Council have repeatedly destroyed the market in the centre of Wolverhampton, I fear they are now doing the same to Bilston. 😭

The great thing about Bilston Market is that it doesn't matter what culture you're from. Everyone is welcome... one big community that's Bilston in general.

[@awalkwithphil]
