Walks in Shropshire: Shrewsbury Town Walk

[@vintagecreativemedia]

Loved, loved this. I like just seeing places that I may never get to see in person.

[@RichardVobes]

Thank you - you should nip up there and have a look!

[@zaydenluciano1124]

not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last weeks =)

[@westondeacon5092]

@Zayden Luciano definitely, been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)

[@terrysparrow2648]

I remember walking out of that Station in September 1983 Richard! Joining the Army at 16 years old! Great watching this, bring so many memories back! Better watched now, just wish Id appreciated such a beautiful Town back then!

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased it brought back memories.

[@Duffy512]

I love those little streets that are dedicated to pedestrians only. The way the city has put flowerpots all over the place he's very very effective.

[@RichardVobes]

Flower pots! That made me smile.

[@isaac7hegamer871]

I live here and it’s is not a city

[@johnperrry215]

​​@@isaac7hegamer871 well bless your heart ❤️ I personally abhor cities.

[@supernova9916]

I have got a job in Shrewsbury ...and I'm moving in two months....super excited!!!

[@RichardVobes]

Good luck - sounds lovely!

[@TheTfortwo]

We have just returned home from 5 nights at oxon hall touring park in shrewsbury.We got the park and ride just outside the site every day into the town.We loved it, such a nice place we are from yorkshire,and it was so much like York.We watched your video Richard after i booked the site and we loved it, thanks well done my sir

[@RichardVobes]

Thank you so much for letting me know - so pleased you enjoyed the town and trip. It sure is a lovely place.

[@pattismith344]

Lovely morning in Shrewsbury Richard.... it looks well appointed as well as historic.... thank you so much. 🤗👍🏻

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks Patti - no thank you for watching.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Great video Richard! I used to live in Shrewsbury so this video brought back some memories.

[@aconspiracyunmasked]

Yes, Darwin was born here too (we're very proud of that here!). Nice to see some limelight being shone on my beautiful hometown :) Thanks for making this.

[@RichardVobes]

My pleasure - more in Shrewsbury to come!

[@iamtheoneandonly9361]

Shrewsbury is a pretty wee town, some lovely architecture there and some lovely scenery down by the river too. Whilst you're in this neck of the woods I'd recommend Bridgenorth, Much Wenlock, Iron Bridge and Ludlow a visit. I'm luck enough to live in Shropshire and I think it's a very underrated county.

[@RichardVobes]

I am the one and only Bridgnorth is done and Ludlow. The others to follow.

[@rogueninja1685]

Thank you for this comment. Invaluable in our vacation research

[@TheFelltimber]

Thanks for your video series. I have started watching from Australia and have been to many UK towns but you are filling in valuable info and missed sights....not to mention stirring found memories and encouraging me to save to go back again!

[@RichardVobes]

You must come back again - loads to see still!

[@SpaceTurkey_33]

Brought back some great memories. Thank you!! Be safe out there.

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased it brought back memories.

[@matthiashepworth6583]

I really like the way that you subtly direct the camera away from the people, I enjoyed this video immensely. Thank you.

[@RichardVobes]

So nice of you

[@timothydempsey3035]

Thanks Richard, this is one of the best videos I have seen about Shrewsbury, you really are a keen observer of our ancient buildings you always make your travel videos very interesting and intriguing.

[@RichardVobes]

Golly Timothy - you will make me big headed. It was a bit of an off the cuff video, but I am thrilled you enjoyed it. More about Shrewsbury coming this year.

[@susanolson3611]

Thank you for the lovely tour. I would love to spend a week there! About an hour from where I live here in Oregon, is the Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire. We go every year in September and enjoy the plays, singing/dancing, jousting and food. So many people attend the faire in costume and have a grand time. The historical reenactments by the various guilds are educational and entertaining. My imagination is combining my Shrewsbury and yours in a delightful daydream. Thanks 🙂

[@RichardVobes]

That sounds like a delightful fair. Thanks for the comment.

[@vkorchnoifan]

Thanks for the video. I love England and her people.

[@zoot69uk2001]

Lovely little walk richard. Thank you

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks Mark - I go through the Shrewsbury Shuts tomorrow! Thanks for watching.

[@lilymcghee8363]

Thank you, that was wonderful and will be very helpful for my visit. Thanks for all the tips and hopefully I won’t crash into something as I look skyward 😊 That looked like a good route from the train station and I am going to try to follow it to the market place. I wonder if there is still a farmers market in the market place 🤔

[@catherinemyles5961]

Another great walk Richard

[@SimonBrown]

I like the shots of Darwin. Interesting to know he was educated in Shrewsbury. The town is much bigger than I thought.

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks Simon - much is compacted into a small area. :)

[@maggielove1893]

Darwin was born in Shrewsbury. His foundation years spent playing along the River bank. Educated in both the Unitarian School and Shrewsbury School but most importantly the glorious rural surroundings. Shrewsbury was his Home until age 27. He always returned home from his adventures until he married his cousin.

[@c.darwin9259]

Are you sure he was educated at school? He left with no qualifications and educated himself in later years.

[@tomfisher7751]

Great video! Looks a lovely place. Might have to visit some time

[@Nevertolate1966]

Hi. Just came across your channel. Very impressed. As I have just moved to Shrewsbury, thanks to your vids, I now have plenty of walks planned. Great! Look forward to your next local walk about 👍👍👍

[@RichardVobes]

Adrian Lockley Fabulous. Let know how it goes!!

[@supernova9916]

Hai Adrian,I have just seen this vedio and so as your comment.me too got a job in Shrewsbury and I'm moving to there in two months .I would like to know about the living and settling expenses in shrewsbury.could you please reply to me?thank you.

[@crystalwaters8852]

Thank you for the guided tour Richard.👍

[@kelleymonte4100]

I have always wanted to visit England. I recently watched an episode of "Escape to the Country" on KZbin and decided that Shropshire is now on my bucket list. Absolutely beautiful. I just need a travel agent bc I don't know what airport I would arrive in and where to stay.

[@nicksykes4575]

@Kelley Monte, the closest International Airports are either Manchester or Birmingham. Both around 60 miles away, if your in the states, Manchester has more flights from there than Birmingham.

[@ameliadavis1889]

Its wonderful so many places to visit! I see this every day

[@isobellaevans1317]

How are you so chill with people looking at you? Great tour of my hometown

[@RichardVobes]

Isobella Evans Thank you. You get used to it after a while.

[@JosephNewman957]

Great video Richard, I’m going here today !

[@craigson5]

The stone cross you walk past at 4:53 is where the Earl of Worcester and Dafyyd III were executed after the battle in 1403.

[@RichardVobes]

Oh right - thanks for that! I will have another look next time I am there!

[@raymondmcdonald355]

Shrewsbury looks lovely and very historical.

[@RichardVobes]

Oh it is lovely!

[@nkaustin4130]

What a wonderful place I've been there quite a few times

[@MrGreatplum]

Galápagos Islands is where Darwin went. Interestingly (perhaps) my dad’s best man taught for many years at Shrewsbury School and he used to dress up as Darwin for events! Great video!

[@RichardVobes]

It's a small world!

Interesting Richard, thank you. This one came up after your Sunday Chat

[@RichardVobes]

Wow - that was a while ago now.

[@LynnB_Ky]

@@RichardVobes it just randomly popped up after today’s chat. We always cast to watch on our TV 📺 👍

[@Teresa20230]

Lovely tour!

[@ManishSharma-on1ch]

Thnx sir for another beautiful video, sir you are an entertainer, actor, independent film maker, writer and award winning podcaster. You also have done work in snug and cozi,you are superstar than why people are not recognize you and don't want selfie with you, if you would be in india you will definitely cover with people for selfie, again thnx for your beautiful video

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks so much for your comments. I do my best to promote my services and skills, but I think there are too many others better and more talented than I. My funds for this channel are almost at an end and I may have to get a job in Starbucks or somewhere to survive. Your comments have cheered me up.

[@ManishSharma-on1ch]

Richard Vobes omg so how we can see you and beautiful England without your videos sir

[@RichardVobes]

You are too kind.

[@colinpritchard261]

It's not shrowsbury. It's shrewsbury we a Fooball club the shrews thankyou

[@RichardVobes]

Colin Pritchard Historically however, the town's name has nothing to do with the shrew. It can be pronounced either way. Thanks for watching.

[@normplatt7549]

If near Albrighton please post !enjoy your work at movie making! And Loved this video!

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks so much - don't get up that way as much as i would like.

[@ramibu239]

Amazing! I just love Shrewsbury! Those buildings are incredible!!! Especially the ones after you read the plaque- I think you said High Street. The center market was also fabulous - its just too bad they had to stick that eyesore of a modern building right next to it (sorry if I offend).

[@RichardVobes]

The modern buildings are offensive! :)

[@ramibu239]

@@RichardVobes 😂🤣😂🤣 Yeah I knew that wouldnt offend you. I was afraid of hurting some local's feelings!

[@elizaaaa_h]

Ah! I live in shrewsbury, and its lovely. I go to school in shrewsbury to, haha.

[@rachaelgoodwin622]

Thanks for the great video. I love this place

[@RichardVobes]

Rachael Goodwin My pleasure!

[@carforumwanker]

The train station area is seeing a lot of investment and some great shops (best coffee and bread in town) .But some of the old pubs etc need pulling down .

[@RichardVobes]

A shame to pull down old pubs

[@elenikominos7404]

Thankyou really interesting..I watch YOU Tuber the Royal Reviewer...Elliot he is from the County of Shropshire..That's how I came across your Channel..!! I am now a Subscriber!!😊

Thanks so much. More Shropshire walks soon.

[@charliekane4000]

Cheers Richard

[@carbugnov1952]

of course I enjoyed the video, but i'm sorry i cannot give you more than one thumbs up. Very lovely place, so clean and interesting building. many students around, probably during school,s out.

[@RichardVobes]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@johnperrry215]

Thank you that was fun!

[@omegafilmcorporation]

Shrewsbury looks like a very nice place to visit if you ask me. Especially the many old buildings and churches there!! (Except there are horrific buildings like Lloyds Bank and Crown House, which I call it the "Crown of Boringness") But also... there is this one confusing and weird thing about the place is that everyone pronounces it "SHREEWS-buree" instead of pronouncing it "SHROZ-bree", well actually I did used to pronounce it like that, but I now use the actual pronunciation. It's kind-off unknown why, but I'm probably guessing that it's the dialect there changed over time. But overall... It's quite a nice place to visit there!! (Along with Ludlow, Clun, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge, etc.) :)

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased you enjoyed the video and the wonderful buildings. It is a lovely place to visit,

[@omegafilmcorporation]

Yep!! :)

[@rosierennie5867]

We dont like it when people pronounce the O vowel not the E vowel. You'll get yourself in a spot of bother - It's only the posh lot on the other side of the river that pronounce it "shrowsbury" It's spelled with an E not an O - So it's SHREWSBURY

[@omegafilmcorporation]

@@rosierennie5867 Ahh I see!! Keep in mind that I changed my pronunciation again a year ago, because it's sounds too posh for my liking, so I stuck back to the original pronunciation of it. But thanks for noticing!! :)

[@billdennis3681]

Yep, all the buildings to your left where old Tuder black and white buildings in the 60s when I lived in Bomere Heath.

[@Legend-sl9bn]

First building I came across was the pub

[@JulioTijuana01]

2:33 Mr. Darwin from his comfy chair, observing the city's evolution.

[@RichardVobes]

He certainly is! :) Thanks for watching Julio.

[@Lilycox-qd5hh]

I live there OMG

[@jasonwong340]

Lilycox20089 me too

[@lindatimholdenromich6739]

The only way to see a place is to walk it....very nice video...thank you!

[@RichardVobes]

Thank you - yes - getting out on foot is the only way forward.

[@TheLucreziia]

It is not pronounced Shrowsbury. It is Shrewsbury pronounced with an E, there is no O in it. I live there....

[@RichardVobes]

So do other who pronounce it the other way :) It is a bitterly debated subject and as you probably know nothing to do with mammals or the spelling. :)

[@TheLucreziia]

@@RichardVobes Salopians often say it depends on what side of the tracks you are from. The E from the wrong side and the O from the posh side. :)

[@pauldavies689]

I pronounce it Shrewsbury, but have noticed old maps with it spelt Shrowesbury, may come from this?

[@markwalker577]

Apparently the Norman's put the 'O' in shrowsbury, now a days normal locals call it Shrewsbury and locals who try and be posher than they actually are call it Shrowsbury which is really really annoying lol

[@maddocksl1508]

I live there as well and it is just annoying when he says it

[@Trueblue222]

He missed out quite a bit . The quaint old quarter around Fish Street , the glorious riverside walk through Quarry Park , Old town walls , Abbey Foregate , the public garden , the castle , any of the side roads off Pride Hill rather than Pride Hill .........

[@RichardVobes]

Oh yes - loads to see in Shrewsbury. Need to return.

[@zmalevo2126]

It's The Quarry. Not Quarry Park. That's what the tourist bodies "dumb it down" to, because they think people can't comprehend a park not being called "x Park"

[@Robert-ts2ef]

Richard, my old mate, try to do your videos on a dry sunny day as opposed to a wet day which presents the place in a rather drab scene. I’ve said this before as it rings true in nearly every town centre, that although the history is higher up as you say, it is spoilt by the ‘Superdrug's and Argos’s’ etc of this world, located beneath, as opposed to the small individual shops and tea rooms of yesteryear. Good video though 👍.

[@RichardVobes]

I shoot a video every day come rain or shine.

[@kennethmacalpin7655]

If you do requests, I'd love to see Petton.

[@RichardVobes]

Petton - I will have to look that up!

Small village just north of Shrewsbury. Great stained glass in the church.

[@samrogers622]

Posh upper class wankers pronounce it shrowsbury it's actually pronounced the way it's spelt

[@iangittins9508]

I wish people would pronounce it properly. It’s spelt Shrew not Shrow

[@KerryWalker-i3e]

Dint Shrewsbury be welsh ....🤔

[@harris4018]

its shewsbury not showsbury unless you live on the other side of the river lol

[@tomperry9970]

Like the video for the most part, the only problem being the way you say shrewsbury. Split the word: Shrews-bury not Shrows-bury

[@iandouglas451]

compared with other videos of this market town you show it to good effect but it has sufferred from much hideous post war redevelopment and seems to me to have a rather dreary quality.

[@invalid303]

I know that what I'm about to tell you is profound, but... The word Shrewsbury is pronounced the same way that it's spelt. Mind blown?

[@RichardVobes]

Funnily enough - while some do pronounce that the name is not derived from the mammal, but old English words, hence different interpretations.

[@judithwright2156]

You can tell it is a very divided town hit hard by austerity and job losses. The architecture speaks of its affluent history which is now pretty much non existent. The people seem very nosy and invasive.
