Malaysian here. I used to live in Barking when I was studying in University of East London located at Longbridge Road. 1993-1996. Has it been more then 30 years ago? How time flies.
I worked in Barking in the 90's. I found it a really nice place. I am from Yorkshire but was working somewhere near Barking so that is where I stayed for a while. I have fond memories of a nice little pub I found there.
I live in Memphis Tennessee but had a sales manager that was originally from Barking always wanted to know more about there. Thank you for the interesting information.
As someone originally from Barking, I weirdly find it odd when someone from abroad mentions they know someone from Barking. Despite it being London, it's like it's satisfying knowing someone got out!
I moved from Barking to the Coast of East Riding 4 years ago...The town centre looks awful. It was always full of litter and awful shop fronts. Looks like a shanty town
Its not a glamour's area but it has good transport links to central London & house prices are still relatively cheap. The schools are pretty good and there are nice shopping centers very close. I moved here about 20 years ago because I wanted to stay in London as I didn't like the idea of commuting from Kent or Essex to work and this was the only area I could afford to buy a house for my growing family.
Love this show but in decades of telly shows about london my borough always ignored,London borough of Sutton, challenge deweyen! Hope thats spelt right
Great video thanks. I’m glad you touched on the Essex thing, got it spot on and hope you cover plenty more of the London boroughs east of the river lee formerly in the county of Essex . My Nan and Mum were born in West Ham Essex and I was born in London 🤪 nice you mentioned the fishing too 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I was born in Barking Hospital. Shame that it's turned into an unsafe shithole -- my gf lives there now and frequently gets harassed by drunks when she comes out of the station.
I saw my ex house I lived in barking 10 years Nothing interesting there, bookies everywhere I’m so glad to escape from that country who took my best years
I always say grey hairs marks wisdom in old fellas like us. Good job once again Dewyne. Tell Yeth his soundtrack has some needed soul, especially for this new year. Love the Easter Eggs this time around. 0:46 Flying styrofoam, and 5:39 Moonwalking lady. Can't wait for more videos.
I was forced to move in an awful ground floor flat over there in November 1993! I hated the flat, and the private landlord who owns/owned the property was, and still is, an unscrupulous b*st*rd!
Easy see that COVID is going on , the streets are clean , it’s usually a rubbish tip awash with rubbish on the streets, market days are the best , it’s a sea of rubbish then, the counsel sends in rubbish trucks and a team to clean up after them, that tax payers have to foot the bill for, why can’t the traders be made to clean up what they leave and people fined for littering the streets? Labour for you👍
Barking is a dump. The only places I like is the coffee shop at the station and the park before 10am Nothing else is good. Way too many plebs , plastic gangsters , fat ugly slobs & constant bad language, litter & graffiti . I used to live there and relieved when I got out.
