[@gingerelvis]

Nieve has such a fun, down to earth personality, she's a great companion for this series. Not really giving a shit about football I would never have been introduced to her without Robbie. For the same reason I wouldn't have known about Robbie if it wasn't for putting the bins out or a wormery or something.

the road behind you at the castle is called manygates lane which is acrually the route the yorkists took to battle and is potentially where richard was cut down. this is also the battle that the grand old duke of york rhyme might be based off and if you go to north yorkshire you'll find towton where edward beat henry vi, avenging his father and becoming king of england

Literally saw you both while I was on the bus near trinity walk lol. Was wondering why you was in Wakefield I thought they must have got lost on the way to leeds lol.

[@persontypething]

I had a curious day out to Wakefield in the late 90s, while my friends were away at a music festival (I was a bit too poor, anti-social and nervous to join them). Got a radical haircut and was intrigued by the Franken-animals by Charles Waterton at the local museum (no longer in there I think). Also bought a pipe from the Black Swan Shoppe - a memorable excursion..

[@funk411]

You guys are great together. Please do more collabs! Also, thank you for introducing me to the Too Good To Go app.

[@glenbetton3146]

Belle Vue ...remember enjoying the rugby league games in the early 80s despite the bone chilling cold, biting wind and horizontal rain. Very true what you say, the centre is quite small but there are lots of interesting things to do within an easy 5 or 6 mile radius. The coal mining museum is really worth a visit, maybe 20 minutes on the bus from Westgate station! 🚌

[@davidwood639]

Not Nieve's normal stuff but I really enjoyed what you put together. Wakey is so understated. (And so are you two!).

[@eucherenkov]

that was thoroughly enjoyable. I love Nieve and apparently I love Robbie too

[@chrisguest778]

Wakefield is actually where the word 'nonce' originated (or Wakefield prison to be more exact). It was an acronym that stood for Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise and was written on the cell cards of prisoners who may have been at risk of being attacked by other prisoners (and the meaning of the word kind of gives away the reason why...)

I have lived in Wakey since 1998 and adore its charms. When i arrived, it had a night life second to none and a historical backdrop that needs to be remembered can you name me a city that has more pubs in a straight mile. Wakefield is rough but it is also beautiful

[@thoydussthoyduss3732]

As a wakefield native, its surreal seeing the underappreciated (not really) locations i frequent often being represented in a huge piece of media such as a Robbie Knox video. All we had before was a brief mention in the M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs.

[@RobbieKnox]

We had a lovely time there!

[@alansmithee8831]

A'reyt Robbie. I am a StuntPegg subscriber living near Wakefield, though from Bradford originally, on the other side of the Rhubarb Triangle, which I was surprised you missed. Please bring Nieve back to do a Five Towns video, as I enjoyed this. It could be like a Rugby League excursion for her. My home district, Manningham, were the first champions, but are now Bradford City. Welcome to my world. You could contact Catherine Warr for some local knowledge?

[@edwilllis]

This video is extremely surreal seen as though I’ve watched Robbie for years and live about 2 minutes outside the city centre. Great vid.

[@RobbieKnox]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@wakeywarrior]

The nursery rhyme The Grand Old Duke of York came from the Battle of Wakefield there. Richard marched down the hill thinking the Lancashire Army had gone. He was beheaded, his head put on a spike with a paper crown and it was stuck on a spike at one of the Barrs (Gates) in York.

[@edanguish5564]

It's a shame you couldn't have visited 50 years ago when Wakefield was a bustling market town and people came by the tripload to visit. Sorry though, wrong Richard! It was Richard the 3rd Duke of York who died at Wakefield and not King Richard III, he died at the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. King Richard III was also the Duke of Gloucester. The Battle of Wakefield took place in December 1460 (I almost remember it well,).

[@benwmarsh]

16:19 I was actually surprised (and quite relieved) that Wakey Wines didn't make the video, especially considering Nieve obviously knows about it. Wakefield is top 5 nicest cities in Europe, glad you enjoyed it.
