Slept in a drawer in a room above Barclays Bank when I was a very wee nipper circa 1971. Westgate Primary; All Saints Middle and PHGS to finish. Bloody love that town. The pubs! Oh my captain, the pubs!
And again you've hit me with a beautiful place, Otley, I lived in Otley after my divorce and loved it. Used to take my granddaughter to the park to feed the ducks and geese. Such a quaint town. Used often for filming, one being DCI Banks played by Stephen Tompkinson. Have often used The Black Bull but can get busy thus you feel squashed in.
That's wonderful to hear! Otley certainly is a wonderful little town - and the riverside parks and cramped pubs really add to its quaint atmosphere :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and got the chance to see Otley again!
I’m from Australia and have family in Leeds. Every second year we make the dreaded 23hr flight over to see everyone and always make time to come to the Otley Car Boot! I love Otley, it would be the place I would live if I ever moved there
depuis vos débuts c'est très bien et de mieux en mieux merci du Nord de la France since your beginnings it is very good and better and better thank you
It's such a lovely place, pubs, walks and everything in between - it's got a lot going for it - especially on those sunny Saturday afternoons :) Thanks for watching - I'm really glad you liked the video!
It's a great escape from the big city, right? Really pretty scenery, lovely town centre and not far from Leeds at all! Thanks for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :)
Great Video! My wife and I visited Otley in 1974 while on our honeymoon. I recall visiting friends of my aunts who lived in a flat located on the opposite side of a street of a tannery that I believed was no longer used. Before dinner we were asked if we would like a beer. We thought she actually had the beer in her fridge but moments later she walked out the door with a pitcher in hand saying she was going to walk down the street to a pub and would be back shortly. Such great memories. Was wondering if per chance you would know the name of the street and the pub? My wife and I did have the opportunity of visiting the pub during our stay. I recall the washrooms were located at the back of the building accessed via a side door. Have such fond memories of Otley.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying these videos - I'm certainly enjoying making them! Both Hartlepool and Leeds are great places, full of history and loads of great landmarks :) Thank you for watching, and stay tuned for more walks every week!
It's a really lovely town! Lots to see and all very compact - making it perfect for an easy town walk with some nice scenic routes as well :) Thanks for watching - I'm really glad you liked the video!
Otley is a small town with a lot going for it . I visited it many times living near Leeds in the nineties and always loved going there with my friend. I long to visit it again after the virus is over and enjoy it once more.
It really does have a lot going for it! It's small but very compact - with a lot to see and learn about in just a few very pretty streets - and the perfect place to visit from Leeds. I hope you enjoy your visit next time you're in Otley :) Thanks for watching the video - I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
It is! I'm sure you'll have the chance to visit Otley and many more places sooner rather than later - here's looking forward to it :) Thanks for watching and commenting as always - I'm really glad you enjoy these videos!
Thanks. You just added another "want to go to" place to my list. I'm going to have to ask someone to add another few years to my life expectancy. Oh! Thanks for clearing up the Tittybottle thing.
Otley's a brilliant little town! It's quite amazing how much history (and pubs) are packed into just a few picturesque Yorkshire - it's certainly worth a visit when you get the chance :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always, I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
Hello! Nearest train station to Otley is probably Menston on the line between Leeds and Ilkley - takes about 10 mins on the bus from the town centre. Also buses to Leeds city centre are only about 45 mins and run all day long :) Thanks for watching - and I hope you enjoyed the video!
My dad had his first pint in the Black Bull in 1932.. He was poorly for 2 days afterwards. One pint ! I lived in and Policed Otley from 1969. At bank holiday time I drove the big van and loaded it with 13 Leeds drunks at all a time, before going back to Wharfemeadows Park and loading up another 13. They liked to steal and sink the boats. The Junction is the best pub and I will be in there in 2 weeks time.. I live in Wisconsin now and it doesn't rain much, but the fish and chips are rubbish.
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Otley is a really wonderful place, and a very interesting town to visit too :) Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!
