Remember that old song "Life in a Northern Town" by Dream Academy? This song kinda reminds me of that :) Again, great video, Richy! Love to go to the Laurel and Hardy museum there someday :)
I'd love to know what the benefits are of living there and what it's like for transport and seeing the Lakes etc.. I've been considering relocating to Shropshire, but I do like the Lakes, despite the rain!
I commented on another video. I currently live in Spain and have just sold my home in Bedfordshire. I work online and have considered buying a cheap stop gap to renovate in Workington/Allerdale. What's the catch? Being raised in Luton, not dependent on local economy. It can't ever be worse? Right? Tell me!
If Workington doesn't work out for you, consider Ulverston. It is such a friendly town. We moved here in 2004, from Hampshire, and haven't regretted it :)
Would not recomend Workington, I was born there left in the 80's for a reason, people buying up cheap houses that are not from the area, make it harder for young local people to buy.
Zuwena Codrington I’m from Ulverston but occasionally visit bury (more specifically Whitefield) and that’s a happy balance of city life and peace for me ahaha
