WORKSOP | Full walking tour of Worksop Town Centre

[@michellelangdon5134]

Thank you for this! I lived at my band mates flat in Worksop many years ago and I walked the same streets many times. He was born and raised in Worksop and we now live in the US. Lots of places have been hit hard over the last couple of decades. Hopefully things will turn around and Worksop will thrive once again.

[@faysmyth6947]

h Hats off to Worksop for looking so clean and litter-free despite the signs of decline. Love from Scotland.

Well said

I've lived here for 40+ years and it's gradually decreased in popularity in the town centre. I'm surprised that you didn't bump into the local druggies through the centre as they're always around the trader clock or bus station (thankfully you didn't go that route) It's a shame it's becoming a ghost town, maybe visit during a market day if you want to see people although it's not a lot better but more variety. The first building you passed just after eyres that was boarded up used to be the ship Inn which was popular as a pub in the 80's and 90's before it closed. Many of the shops now are charity shops, pubs or food establishments. Even after all these years living here this is the first time for a while I've seen the town from top to bottom as the supermarkets around the outskirts seem to take away the business for the centre and with the price of parking in town it makes it pointless to drive in to shop at the smaller shops. Glad to see you made a video of the place hopefully the local council will see and try and bring custom back to town. Keep posting the videos they certainly show me places to visit in the future 👌🙂

Excellent video. Good to see the town so clean and tidy when you did this. It is usually busier than this though but I think with certain people hanging around, you filmed at the right time. Every time I go to town, there are some colourful characters around the Trader Clock, and I expect you'd have had a cut edit on your hands if they were there. Born and bred Worksop I am, proud of the town and history. Shame some people ruin it and the council don't seem to care that much about the shops. I used to do walkthroughs of Worksop many years ago, the videos haven't aged very well, but will probably do another one next year when I start making videos again. It won't be anywhere near the excellent quality of this though. Great work. :)

[@dianemallon7207]

People don't visit the town due to car parking charges, a lack of shops, doorways filled with homeless people is heartbreaking, and the amount of disrespectful street drinkers that congregate daily by the clock

[@GimbalWalkTV]

People say the exact same thing about any town or city I film to be fair

[@cesarramirez5536]

I studied at worksop north notts collegue 1976-1978. I note now is much less busy than then. I enjoyed my stay there and i lived outside town in costhorpe 30th norhumberland ave., the home of mr Charles and Misses Anne Booth to whom i always remain indebted

[@konradblades93]

The commercial route walked in this Vlog used to be very busy with people out and about with the exception of a Sunday, Times certainly do change.

[@Vasikank]

This is really great indeed.. nice present and stabilize of walking with just an IPhone filming . We plan to visit our friends in this Worksop town this upcoming summer.. thanks a lot of showing us..🙏🙏

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you so much 😊

[@richardburns5925]

The DPD van at the beginning is the reason its so quiet! Online shopping, lovely film though.

[@rogerchaplin9781]

Good informative video, I visit the place once a month on market day, it has declined over the years and I get the impression the council has given up on the place and the locals just seem to have accepted it, such a shame because the locals are honest hard working proud people

Glad you focus on positives! Catch 22! People don't come because lack of shopping opportunity, shops don't come because of lack of trade.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

So true!

[@everydaysabonus]

Please can you turn the filters off ? The enhanced reds and greens almost spoilt this otherwise good video. Would have been nice if you had continued down Newcastle avenue towards the library and beautiful gardens near the war memorial and a quick peek at the Priory. Was there any reason why you didn’t have a quick look at the precinct? Would have only taken a few minutes. Hope you take my comments constructively as they are meant. Keep up the good vids, it’s nice to see the places we hadn’t been to.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you - some good feedback The filters are an issue as they look great on my editing screen but crazy on my tv!

[@stevestaniforth7395]

Should have gone on a Weds, Fri or Sat Market days. The pub on the left at 3 mins 53 is owned by Mike Ashley of Sports Direct/Newcastle. Gone down hill over lockdown. Too many shops closed. So not as vibrant as it used to be, but at least you can get free boxing on a Fri/Sat night anywhere in town.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

That’s an interesting one about Mike Ashley - do you know why he’s got that place?

[@stevestaniforth7395]

@@GimbalWalkTV Not sure on that. I heard it was for business meetings as he lives Nr Bolsover, and has his main warehouse at Shirebrook in Derbyshire.

True I just don't understand how those shops stay open on a day to day basis though - there seemed to be nobody shopping there at all
