Internet shopping and Cheshire Oaks finished this place off, as well as a decline in local industry.

Thank you for great, no nonsense, straight to the points videos, get yourselves a drink on me

You made Llandudno look lovely Marky... and the absence of Wolves merchandise was especially appreciated 😉👏🏻

Great video mark. Nice place and very popular too. Was this video recorded with old car ??

Your industry and jobs went 40 years ago . Your shops aboard up because you shop at supermarkets and buy everything else online

Flipping heck!!! Did they ever get those sausages cooked for you?!?!?

My family immigrated to Canada in 1964 My Dad worked at Camelairds. Most of my family grew up in Birkenhead So proud of my birth home but disappointed at how it has changed. I blame the politicians for not planning for the future God bless Birkenhead

Even the Queens gone even she had enough that she sold her soul to the devil for a £1

The building at 2:40 was the library, it wouldnt look out of place in Venice or Rome, amazing building rotting away.

Birkenhead`s decline and the destruction of Grange Rd. was simply the end. I got fed up of being burgled when I was at work...... eventually I gave up on the town that I loved. Never looked back and have not been robbed since.

new vauxhalls and many other manufacturers cannot be trusted, stick to old cars or like you said a Honda

Can’t see finance company cancelling if car was a month old but nearly a year and 1 problem u don’t want car love my 63 plate gtc 2 lire diesel. Flies

Set op a crowd fund Mark. I would happily chuck in a tenner to keep your vids coming.

I live in Ashbourne ❤. The bunting and flags are put up every Summer.

What a hatchet job - you began at the top of Albert Road and stopped halfway down Widnes Road, failing to venture towards the old Town Hall. You obviously came to do this video with preconceived ideas about the town and frankly - that is not a good starting point. Many shops empty..wow….just about every town in the country has this problem, so why is it such a shock to you? You made your video before 10am knowing the streets would not be busy, if that suits your narrative about Widnes - then fine. Why didn’t you visit Victoria Park or the Widnes Vikings rugby league ground? Pex Hill? As I said - you did a hatchet job on Widnes that does not give you much credibility as a vlogger. Nothing wrong with Widnes in the grand scheme of things, sure - things could better just like in Warrington, St Helens or any other town in that region or any other region for that matter. I was expecting a good and fair minded video when I came across your vlog, but sad to say…this is anything but that 😢

I wont go in them, its just an excuse to migrate over here

The Xscape at Glasshoughton killed Castleford stone dead .

Let's get real You know what killed my town? The cod wars

❤ aeshborne

I was born in Ellesmere Port ,it could have been Liverpool but I was born at my evil Aunt's home( rumored to be a Witch) lol. I've had a very rough life of failure .Anyway I live 35 mins NW of Toronto in a middle class street being overrun by gun violence and gangs.

Lived there from the 60s until the 90s then moved to Wakefield it's a shit hole is Dewsbury now

My astra did that it was just a hose with the tiniest hole which let all water out when warmed up local garage found it and sorted it cost about 80 quid

I have to say, I was rather shocked that you left Honda for Vauxhall Mark... I guess we live and learn🤷🏻‍♂️ hope you get sorted out quickly so that you can continue your RU-vid work.

I live here and let me tell you, this video was pointless. There is bassicly nothing here

you didn't see the market because you weren't there on a wednesday or a saturday, looks like you went on a sunday or a thursday when nothing's open - toffee smith wasn't open so you went on a sunday or a thursday.. & why didn't you point out the murals? or any of the shops that have been there for years like the cobblers & greenwoods? the oldest alternative night club, open since 1976? the minster or the railway station? please never come back to dewsbury, you're not welcome.

Thanks for the vid’ pal!!! Proud Birkenheader here, but like the vast majority of towns up and down the country, lack of investment and general mismanagement by Tory governments had turned them all to sh*t 😫😥

I remember mark when you first got that car. You filmed it outside in the street. You were excited to have such a great car. Even after you drove it for the first time you said it was great Nevermind I hope all goes well in your new car this time

How are you doing it?

You're tea's getting cold Marky👏🏻

Crazy this HEAR guy is in grimsby, i can see some of his stuff from my bedroom window on the train lines in sheffield, its also all the way down the meadowhall trainlines when i go shopping haha.. I'll come back to grimsby one day to visit its not a bad place

Heart-breaking to see where i was born ruined labour did this that council need criminal charges for fraud the only way to rebuild it is free parking for three hours remove business rates for a year and zero tolerance on crime all those beautiful buildings make the factories flats get money back in that town then trade comes back

Lovely little town, Bala. When I was a kid my family used to have a caravan in Barmouth and, travelling from Cheshire, Bala was a nice little place to stop in for a bite to eat and a loo break! Haven't been back in many years, must go back one day!

It's amazing round there.

I always share your videos with my family. You have the coolest videos thanks Macc Man.

When the Council burnt down the old Grade 2 listed market down ...twice.....that was the beginning of the end.

Thanks for a trip down memory lane Marky, you showed 'Scarbados' in a good light.. Scarborough used to be a lovely place to live, I know because I lived there through the '80's/90's ( we had the F&C shop in Coney Island early 80's) unfortunately, like so many other seaside towns it has suffered from more than just coastal erosion.

Nice one Mark we were there earlier in the year great place we had a great mug o tea at that cafe at the start of the video, the gift shop is also owned by the same guy as the cafe. Atb buddy.

All the money the are investing on stores is a waste of time . Everyone shops online nowadays . Far cheaper and safer .

Can’t believe you was in my home town and don’t say hi

It’s not the place it was it’s a sad reflection of how Wakefield used to be.

Cas used to be buzzing a good few years ago. People all over market stalls and pubs and clubs. So sad to see it now. Greedy rents on shops that people carnt afford. Lack of investment. Shame

They might have had some Pontefract cakes at the Haribo factory round the corner from where you were lol

it breaks my heart to see how my home town has gone so far down the pan. When i was a Kid Bacup had everything going for it the town centre used to be buzzing now all of the factories have closed down even the factory i spent nine years of my working life is now sadly gone which was E Suttons & Sons i loved my Time working there. I haven't been home in almost 25 years i don't think i could bear to see the town as it is now. 😢😢

Noice

That is the best thing I’ve ever seen no joke

my Fave UK city by far!

all the young kids once they are old enough and if into the Arts & Music move to Liverpool

Nothing stays the same some change for better some decline ,l moved years ago but deep in my heart its my home town and some wonderful people and memories

Was this filmed on a Saturday?

bro i live here
