Hello there, thanks for these videos - this is my hometown but now I live far away on the other side of the world. Not much hope of me walking these streets again myself for a long time, so it is lovely to see. I wonder if you have noticed - at this point in the video 22:08 if you look above you on the wall of Caffe Nero here before you turn right off Friargate (opposite The Black Horse, - an excellent pub btw!) there is a pretty mind blowingly impressive blue plaque - and it's totally true - he owned a property on that spot, bought for his daughter who lived there after marrying a Lancashire lad. He visited and stayed there for several months when she had given birth to his grandchild. Then went back home to become rather famous 🙂 Check it out next time you pass. Cheers & keep on walking!
@@anorthernwalker Nice one. Yep - one of the "Founding Fathers" of The United States of America and signed the Declaration of Independence from Britain. On the $100 dollar bill. He'd be able to buy a few pints in The Black Horse and lots of Greggs pasties with that! Ha ha. Anyway, it's been nice chatting - Good Luck with your channel - I'm obviously subscribed and will be going through your back catalogue of videos, watching them and giving lots of "likes". If I think of anything interesting again as I follow your travels I'll leave a comment. Cheers.
