American Guy Reacts to Autumn in The Original Washington, NORTHEAST England | LOOKS LIKE SALEM! 

Two of the first buildings seen are pubs 😂

I enjoyed this, but I was hoping to see the house where the ancestors of the Washington family lived or, maybe, the headstones for the family. Still, it was a good tour. Thank you.

Hi, could you watch Sara James perform as a special guest at the AGT 2024 semi-finals, pls. Sara is promoting her latest single "Sunshine State Of Mind". First time with her own song on AGT. Simon was in seventh heaven!

This is my home town. The big manor house at 6:50 is Washington Old Hall, the ancestral home of George Washington. Parts of the building were built in the 13th century, and if you ever come here to make that movie you can actually go inside the house and learn more about our links to America. I think we are one of the only places in the UK that celebrate independence day 😅. We don't get many tourists here at all.

got lost in concord in washington once.and ended up in Philadelphia..🤣

Again great reaction 🤘🤘 greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

I love Autumn. I used to live in an old converted church called St Georges when I was at Sheffield University in Sheffield, England. I had a stained glass window in my room and I walked through the old graveyard each day. It was so historical and peaceful. The most famous graveyard in the UK is probably Highgate, where many famous people from history are buried and it has a very unusual vibe.

Im from Sunderland i live 10 mins away from Washington, their golf course us also named after George Washington

My own home town as well, NAIA - born and bred here . . . Well, not so much called a town back then, until it began to expand outwards into one sadly! (it's gone from a few hundred/ or perhaps a thousand inhabitants just pre-1800's, up to almost around an 80k population now.) As it was too small to be classed as one then . . . Formerly it was really just a hamlet way back around the 1600's and much likely earlier that that . . . the building you see at around the 1.27 mark used to be the old blacksmiths who saw to the horses, etc, passing through, or on nearby farms for various trading . . . Formerly owned by the diocese of the Bishop of Durham many centuries ago, (and had a variety of names like Wessynton, etc, from its earlier Saxon times (Pre-Norman Invasion - up to around the mid 1300's?) Until the Hertburn family - and 1-2 others bought parcels of the land from the Bishop and turned their own name (Hertburn) into their new name Washington) . . . (See right at the bottom of comment!) That was until it became a coal mining village and this village was its main centre, but the 3 local coal mines around it starting are what first caused it to spread out more - Homes then being built to attract miners and their families to work near enough for them to both work and live there . . . It probably also had a smaller kind of boatbuilding (wood) going on on the banks of the River Wear that runs close to it, likely back in earlier days/times too. Long gone now though . . . Tourism here to Washington is very rare more than anything else . . . I don't think many Americans even know about it (even now in schools with your history) that it was the 1st named Washington here - or that when the family decided to move further south, they created another Washington there as well . . . Your former President, Jimmy Carter, did actually visit here in the May of 1977 though, and planted a cherry tree in the village . . . I think it died of disease though - so another one was planted in its place? On July 4th every year though, The US Flag is raised at the Washington Manor House in it's grounds to celebrate its past . . . And as for the Washington Family's Crest - well, it had 3 red Stars and 2 red Stripes below it on a white shield . . . also latterly used as a badge on the jacket pocket of some schools here . . . 3 churches here, the one you saw is Holy Trinity (The Church on the Hill) - only opened in 1833 as one surprisingly even if it does look old - but it was a building well before then already . . . Usworth Parish church (another that is on a hill) was built and then in the early1500's and had some parts added to it later . . . the 3rd is an RC Church, which I think was built in the 1960's - and was needed due to the growth happening here . . . So, a little bit of trivia there for you to enjoy NAIA - So in brief, Washington Village, Usworth (& Concord), Barmston & Fatfield (near the river) - were the main parts that were classed as Washington until all of the new districts expanded it more. . . . > Hope you enjoyed that???? 🤔👍
