  • In this Travel Vlog I take a ferry from Tilbury Docks to the maritime town of Gravesend in Kent. My adventure immediately takes a spooky turn in historic Borough Market when a market trader discloses her experiences with ghosts at a local cafe!
    After some ghost detective work I set out to Gravesend Fort by electric bike after bumping into my cousin and his girlfriend. My adventure closes with some superb food with my girlfriend at Rico Sabor Restaurant (The old prison!) within the historic town hall!
    Feel free to like and subscribe for more videos if you enjoyed this one and would love to see more of me gallivanting around the UK and getting into mischief!

    Good Vlog... Shame the tunnels weren't open at the fort (only a quid or 2 to go in)... Also, you scratched the surface pal... If you did a full on one of the whole area, Gravesend's history is pretty unreal and it has so so many hidden gems, most haven't even been discovered by the public at large... The other forts along the Riverfront, AEI Henley hidden underground bunker, tunnels under the three daws, Sikh Temple, Gravesend Industial and Tugboat heritage (the entire river traffic from the North Sea to Teddington is still managed and ran out of Gravesend and has done since the days of Henry 8th... Family history on it runs centuries, literally)... Could go on... My town has a lot of problems but I'm a proud Gravesender and always will be!

    Returning from France on June 19th 1865. All of Charles Dickens's Railway Nightmares came true! Until he was involved in a terrific train crash accident at Staplehurst in Kent.
    Ten people died in the accident.
    The accident would prop Dickens to write his finest Ghost Story called The Signalman.

    Was last in Gravesend only last week. What did you mean at the start of the video we are taking the ferry to a little hidden gem??
    Gravesend is a rather well known place not just in the UK but in other countries due to its history like you showed earlier like: Pocahontas, the actor Michael Gambon lives in the borough of Gravesend in Meopham, other well known people like actress-Gemma Arterton grew up in Gravesend amongst others!
    Then you say we are in the historic part of Gravesend, very confused mate lol

  • @robnewman6101
    @robnewman6101 ปีที่แล้ว

    I believe Pocahontas's death was Small Pox.
    I have seen watched The New World 2005 on dvd.
    A Historical Drama Epic Movie.
    Begins in the year of 1607.
    Regin of His Majesty King James the 1st.
