This is like walking into a story book of fairytales😍, the buildings and some of the shop names magical - curious though that so many are so lightly dressed folk, mind you last time I was in the UK in December, I wore short sleeve tops to go shopping too😀 ....gorgeous walk thanks Paul
Thank you for the lovely comment Miss Melly. The Shambles has quite a history and gave the English language the term 'what a shambles' and 'shambolic'. This was shot in August and we had some great weather this Summer.
What a lovely place and I love the names of the shops, very clever! I imagine all the people walking through these streets for hundreds of years. Hopefully, one day I will visit this enchanging village. Thanks for sharing, a Yankee from New York! :)
I’m pleased you enjoyed the video and this street. As a matter of interest I would urge you to google the origins of the street name ‘shambles’ where it comes from and how now that word has its meaning in our everyday language. I actually love learning about the fascinating world of the origins of everyday words.
This was lovely to watch - thank you for taking us on this walk. It almost seems surreal, being taken in time to a medieval street, and it also showing the world a few short weeks before it changed as we knew it. ✨
Went to York recently on my first ever solo holiday. Really enjoyed it so much. Such a lovely place and not a bad person in sight. I would love to visit again
Well done going on a solo holiday and having a good time. You’ll have to do more trips. Other places you might enjoy would be Chester, Lincoln, Cambridge, Canterbury.
Thank you. I had plans to see... As a person who lives vintage, kind of bummed to see what's inside shops-modern stuff. Lovely outside of buildings, of the buildings dark, warm colors. Take care
Thank you Fran - I am pleased you like the colouring of my video. It's true the inside of the shops are very "commercial". I would recommend a visit at dusk when the atmosphere is all there and not many people, so you can get the experience you are looking for. The tremendous history and these buildings are real.
I was in York about 3 weeks ago and oh my it was it was incredible.The Shambles is almost like walking in a fairytale.The shops is gorgous,especially the Potions and Cauldrons
I went in early December 2019 and weather was gorgeous. Very cool because it was late autumn but damn it was fun. (Attended my cousin’s wedding at The Principle Hotel).
Paul T's World Paul it was bloody excellent. I had a good feed in one of the Tea rooms upstairs in The Shambles about half way up on the left handside the morning after the wedding because I was so hungover.
Great video would love to go to the shambles, been the steam train museum which was great but didn’t have time to go to the shambles I’ve subscribed as I said last night. this is the first video I’ve watched but will definitely be watching more all the best with your channel
Glad you found it interesting. It is the best preserved Medieval street in the World. Many of the buildings date back to a period between 1350 to 1475. It was once lined with butcher’s shops and stalls for displaying meat known as “Shamels” in Anglo-Saxon. The name 'Shambles' came from those butcher's shops.
@@paultsworld That's so amazing, I would love to see it someday, I live in Michigan, but my Grandparents migrated from Newcastle , I've heard so many stories of home, but they never told me about this place, I definitely have to see it now, hopefully next year if Covid is done by then.
Hope you can make it over here next year - there's so much history. Newcastle is pretty ancient too - started as a Roman fort in 122AD. It was renamed 'Newcastle' during Norman rule in 1080 when William the Conqueror was around. It has a great waterfront - modern structures mixed in with historic buildings.
@@paultsworldMy grandfather told me a little of the history, but I didn't know it had started as a fortress.. so much to learn, I had a hard time understanding him, he was originally fr liverpool and had a very thick accent, I grew up in Rhode island and I remember him saying he was disappointed because it looked so much like home.. He wanted to take to a place called Snowdonia to go fly fishing but we never made it, so, I have lots to do to see some of the places of my ancestry.. Thank you so much. 😊
That's interesting your grandfather told you of Snowdonia. I love the area and the small lakes are still there full of trout with fly-fishing available. If you'd like a taste of the countryside of Snowdonia National Park - check out my video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jfKKKyDXirM.html This shows some of my favourite views of the area.
Most Americans started out as extremely courageous Brits. You, coming from a more pathetically weak bloodline, I can certainly understand your petty jealousy.
