A late Congratulations..but we'll done keep up the good work 👏 I look forward to watching more of your videos

Wonderful! I grew up at Moulsham Mill Baddow Road when it was a working mill. It is lovely to see Chelmsford through someone else’s eyes. It has changed

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thanks for sharing with us! It is amazing how cities (or towns back then) change over the years, and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed seeing it on screen :) Thank you so much for watching!

Chelmsford had it's heart torn out many years ago, some old buildings remain, as a monument of it's former glory. Gone but not forgotten, Amen.

Thank you for taking me round Chelmsford again l have always loved it there especially the park l, m too old to walk far anymore so your walk took me round from my sofa thank you again

[@LetsWalkUK]

You're more than welcome! I think Chelmsford is a lovely city, especially on a sunny day like this one :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed watching the video from the comfort of your sofa!

[@susanbrown2909]

The shire hall had a much darker past,as it was a place of hangings. The once beautiful street known as tindel street had the guts ripped out of it years ago back in the early 70s...it had a street that had the greasy spoon cafe,and the spotted dog pub..and the lovely cramphorn pet shop,all sadley gone now. Where the chancellor hall is stood ,there was the outdoor market,...much remembered from my past. Always hated the multi story car park. Spent many times walking along Central Park path there with my old mum.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thanks for sharing that very interesting local history with us! It's always good to get some extra info on the many intricacies of a city like Chelmsford :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!

[@markharris1125]

Half-expected to see myself in this video, as you'll find me walking into town two or three times a week. i do admire your spirit in getting out and about as you seem to. I'm a bit too worried about being accosted and fined. This gives me a bit of confidence! I agree with someone below - a walk out of town, through the park to Writtle, would be (is) a lovely walk, especially with spring just around the corner. You can even get a bus back into town afterwards. (The walk in the opposite direction would work too!) For those who are thinking of visiting, rest assured that it is always as sunny as this in Chelmsford. Nice little tour, thank you. I'll have a look at some of the others.

[@syednuaim1954]

No its not always this sunny, i live here too 😂

[@LetsWalkUK]

Ha ha thank you so much - it's a lovely city as I'm sure you know very well, although this kind of sunny day isn't immensely common as we all know in England. Nice to get a sunny day for the video though! I'll absolutely make a walk in and around Writtle next time I'm in the area - seems like a very popular place :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you liked the video!

Greetings from Wellington New Zealand. I am ex Chelmsford man, and unfortunately have not been back for several years. And with the pandemic being what is, it might be a while before I get back there. Really enjoyed the video, it gave my wife and I goosebumps as you walked down some of the roads we have walked together. Any chance you can make a video of a walk around Braintree? All the best, and I will be keeping an eye on your channel. Thanks 🙏

Nice video. i feel sorry for the people who are begging in and around town when there is more help here out of that than i seen anywhere else. it doesnt have to cost thousands on rehab treatment like i had to borrow. Help at Sanctus, Chess and its a great city for fellowship. I moved here in 2017 from thurrock and love living here apart from people thinking im rich when i got responsibilities and debt myself.

[@danupson]

I’m out in town every day for work, these ‘homeless’ people half of them have flats to live in. Get offered help all the time. Make more money from begging so they refuse the help. It’s like when you offer them food and all they want is money

Interesting Video thank you. I too live in Chelmsford. Another piece of History is being played out in your Video that of the Pandemic, Masks and people taking their Daily exercise. Or at least it will be history once people browse your video in years to come when the Pandemic is over. Thanks again and keep making this type of video. Ever thought of narrating your videos ? Just a thought.

Hi there! Thank you very much for watching and for your kind words - hopefully people find it interesting to see Chelmsford at a specific time in history in the future!

[@uzi392]

@@susanbrown2909 it all depends on who you are and what you do to be honest, to a normal civilian going about their day-to-day business it would be a decent place to live. But i have seen the other side of Chelmsford- away from all the ‘sunshine and roses’ if you understand what i am talking about... over all it isnt the worst place to live- but there is very LITTLE opportunity left in Chelmsford, ever since it has become a City most of the opportunity’s have been taken up by others so it’s very hard to make it out if you are relying on only Chelmsford.
