Great place. The video looks gloomy but a nice town centre for a change. Great place to walk around the city, there canal through the centre and a river! Its next to the sea which is beautiful bay. On the main rail and motorway and soo easy to the Bowlands, Dales and Lakes. Its right there and so quiet! loads of beautiful villages, ferry to Fleetwood from knotts end, near Manchester or Liverpool. Great place.
I attended the Uni there from 1998 to 2005. Great memories and great people. I went back in 2015 for a short visit, many shops that I used to go were closed. The market was half operational. The Uni itself has changed too. I miss Lancaster
Surprised how many negative comments there are about the city. Most people really like it and it's often ranked the safest city in the UK. Plenty to see and mainly for free all accessible on foot. Maybe the gloomy weather in this video isn't doing it justice.
I remember the John O'Gaunt with blues on Sunday and Wednesday nights, folk on Thursdays and 'Jazz Dogs and Sausages' on a Sunday afternoon. It was a fantastic pub.
People say the best bit is the shopping part, but I like the council house area with the park along the canal when it’s darker with some friends, no one at all is outside and there are a lot of places to chill.
Lancaster's a little rough around the edges but, depending on your outlook, there's an honest, closeknit, charm to it. Like many 1960s universities, the university's pretty highly ranked. It's not far from the Lake District. I imagine Lancaster attracts some arty people.
@@redrush8825 I know where Hala is. Used to travel along Lancaster, Morecambe and Hesyham. Though I can't picture it now, I am sure it will come back to me.
They have street sweepers out daily, and local shops keep the rest of the streets clean by paying for extra cleanups. BHS has closed and the building is closed, wetherspoons near the bus station is still closed after the floods 3 years ago. Many of the closed shops have reopened as something else. The outdoor market is every weds and saturday and is usually busy. Traffic will be better once the bridge reopens - since the bypass was built traffic is much better.
Thanks for the comment...There are many other videos around the UK on my channel...Lancaster was a good place to do some filming ...Hopefully more to come...
Im moving to lancaster next week for uni, i didn't check out the city itself but driving through it looked gorgeous. Looks a little smaller than i expected. Just wonding do people often go on nights out here on do they go to say preston instead.
crafty crumpet I was told by one of my tutors at Sussex who did postgrad at Lancaster that students live an isolated life at windswept Bailrigg and that I should “think long and hard before going to Lancaster”. I hope things have worked out better for you than they did for her.
The best way to sum up Lancaster is a nice shopping district with old buildings but every where else is just abandoned buildings, destroyed shops, smog and probably gang activity. But the university is good and the old buildings are interesting.
@@welovemoistybutter7570 Maybe triads given the quite large Chinese contingent. That's Lancaster's biggest ethnic minority I think. Though many appear to be students from overseas.
I know it's a small gloomy British city,but I have some fond memories there. I like the shopping district and especially the local people,there. They were always very friendly and kind. This was back in 1991.But the city doesn't seem to have changed much. Most of the shops are still there.I'm afraid no HMV or Virgin records anymore,though.I'd like to go back there some day for a bit of melancholy.
