MELTON MOWBRAY | Full tour of Melton Mowbray Market - home of the Pork Pie
We have a look around Melton Mowbray Town Centre and it's market day so we get to wander along the market stalls too!
Melton Mowbray is a lovely town in Leicestershire, England. The town is 19 miles (31 km) north-east of Leicester, and 20 miles (32 km) south-east of Nottingham.

Watching Melton Mowbray on TV.What a fabulous market. Wish we had one like it.Our one in Woolwich is dead😢

[@conaughtgreen]

Yes when I lived in Peterborough we would go to Stamford at some week ends which we also loved but going to Melton was a full day out As for the Olde Pie Shoppe that was fatal for us there were so many wonderful things on sale it was hard to know what not to have Thank you for the memories

[@maggiemitchell4359]

Another fantastic place town markets certainly bring the people out, thanks for sharing : )

A good video of MELTON MOWBRAY | Full tour of Melton Mowbray Town Centre and Market [Home of the Pork Pie!] been many times!.❤❤

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks mate ❤️

[@nickthefox72]

Thank you for being nice about our town :)

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Lovely place!

[@Mark-ww9sb]

Another great video and a great town. Thanks. Looks like the planning department went to school and stayed awake. Sadly, very unusual in the UK...

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Agreed!

[@youngeroldie5089]

Lived a mile outside of town, nice place and still miss it and the friendly people. D & M pies are the best pork pies, I love stilton cheese so the pork pie with the stilton topping was great for me. these pies are shipped all over the world.

[@andrew_koala2974]

Cannot stomach Stilton Cheese. Nor do I eat Pork products. However while on the subject of Cheese - My (then) dearly beloved from MARGATE NJ ( Now MARGATE CITY ) and named after Margate by The Sea in England asked me : Why does Parmesan Cheese smell like dirty feet ? However - I much prefer GRANA cheese on my Pasta dishes - being half-Italian ( Fathers side ) - who was born in Kent County MI of Italian migrants. Incidentally -- The region of Parma in Italy is all Dairy Industry -- which is where Parmigiana / Parmesan derives its name from. As does the brand PARMALAT ( Meaning Milk from Parma )

[@pennylane9730]

Went there when I lived in Kettering. Nice place. Yes famous for it's pies.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

👍👍👍

[@mickbutler9407]

been to Melton a few times but not on market day what a great looking market the pies are fantastic hope u didn't have too many Neil

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Loved em 🤣🤣 had too many and took some home too 🤣

[@zocco15az]

I can see why it in top 10 to live love them pies especially ones with pickle in Morrisons used to sell.👍

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Oh yes!

[@nickmiller76]

I knew a bloke from Melton once. He told me a story about when they had a new headmaster at his school who came from outside the area. After a while, once the new bloke had settled in a bit, one of the locals asked him what he thought of the town. His reply was that he'd "...never lived in a place where the locals were so happy with what they'd got". Pleasant compliment, or withering putdown? I never could decide.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

🤣🤣🤣 could take it either way that one!

[@mrnickmoodie]

A put down, the serf mentality lives on. (I lived there for ten yrs...........it's a cultuarl void.

[@andrew_koala2974]

It was a low-level compliment stating that despite the misery the people are of high enough spirits - and mentally tough self sufficient people they can create their own happiness. And THAT says a great deal for the people there. Lesser people would be whining and complaining The People of Melton Mowbray have a long-standing history of surviving in difficult conditions - Just consider the Hills they have had to walk up and down on - Those Hills would wear out and break most people. The good thing is that when one has reached the peak - the remainder of the journey is all down-hill. That is why that half-the time the people are happy.

[@rogerfrancis465]

What always interests me is a visit to the railway station and a peek inside the main church,

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Will try and do that

[@andrew_koala2974]

13:53 -- I was a great fan of the TV Series ' The Bill ' I did not know that Mark Wingett came form Melton Mowbray I do however know that actor Kevin Lloyd - who played the role of DC Alfred "Tosh" came from Derby - died in May 1998 As I recall he was written out of the Series - killed in the line of duty. I don't recall what year that was. I believe there was also a famous cricket player who came from Melton Mowbray --- Not being into sport (except Motor Sport) and certainly not cricket - I don't recall his name

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ah Tosh Lines! I used to love him in the Bill

[@paulinefearnley9379]

Great looking place and market. How busy was the pie shop 🤣 are they as good as people say?? Thanks for the walk and info keep on walking 👍🚶🏻❤️

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Think that pie shop is just constantly packed The pork pies are really nice yeah!

[@andrew_koala2974]

I wouldn't know I don't eat pork products

[@andrew_koala2974]

In 1477 - Anne de Mowbray - 8th Countess of Norfolk (age 6) was married to Richard of Shrewsbury -1st Duke of York (age 4) She died at age 10 and he - as one of the Princes in the Tower ( of LONDON ) is believed to have been murdered at age 10

I’m back soon for a longer look

@@GimbalWalkTV brilliant. Just being selfish as I'm in Bowley Court 😅

[@andrew_koala2974]

Speaking of nice little streets - one should take a walk along DogShit alley One should also understand that NICE is a negative word- as are so many Negative word beginning with the letter N - not only in the English language - also in other languages. Who can explain the meaning of 'Cutting Remarks "

I would expect next to the local convenience W.C.

[@richinderbyshire4779]

Yes I bought a few pies from the pie shop. Very nice. I couldnt tell the difference between the cheaper one and the more expensive one. Fancy packaging I think.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ha ha true

[@nickthefox72]

White packaging are hand made in store but a tip….they recently bought the name Mrs.Kings pies. An old brand from melton years ago and they are ALL handmade and nicer(slightly different mix)

Loved the video -- is it just me or does it seem a bit unexpected to find the Woodside Animal Center right next to a butcher shop (24:32)?

[@richinderbyshire4779]

Hi. Went there in 2019. How tiny is the place? I was surprised. Nice folk though.

[@GaryWoods-stunts4life]

The market is on Tuesday and Saturdays 👍🏻

[@paulapaul3082]

but Tuesday is definitely the better market.

What day is market day please?

WED NES DAY as near as I recall

[@auditts100]

You need to go down church street and into the park next time. You get closer to the church and some old houses.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you - will do that!

[@johngrant5448]

Funny isn't it that in Melton they queue for pork pies and in Sheffield we queue for hot pork sandwiches. Everybody loves pig.

Everyone ----- Not every'body' Learn correct grammatical legal English The emphasis is on one How many of YOU are there in existence on this earth ? Learn that a body is a DEAD entity You will find the cemetery is full of bodies Now write an essay on the importance and significance of 'one' It's about 8 short lines of text My youngest students age 8 completed the essay successfully. You will not be able to do it simply because those students are academically more advanced than you. The solution is : undertake an extensive reading program to educate yourself to a higher degree.

02:59 -- One useful point to remember about King Henry VIII is that he built a strong and powerful - NAVY that was not surpassed until Pax-Ameicana became the ruling state of the world in 1940 which is when power was transferred from Pax-Britannica to Pax-Americana. The final stage wil be the transfer of power from Pax-Americana to Pax-Judaica Then the West will realize what a grave error of judgment the British GOVERNMENT made in 1949

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I didn’t understand any of that really so going to look it up now Hope you’re well Have a happy new year

What days is the market on?
