- WORKSOP | Full walking tour of Worksop Town Centre, Nottinghamshire
We visit the town of Worksop for a walk around the Town Centre to see what's happening!
Also watch Sheffield Yorkshire 👉 • SHEFFIELD England | Fu...
Worksop is a market town in the Bassetlaw District in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 19 miles east-south-east of Sheffield, close to Nottinghamshire's borders with South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, on the River Ryton and not far from the northern edge of Sherwood Forest.
Believed to have been in existence since Anglo Saxon times, this unique market town in the north of Nottinghamshire is aptly dubbed the ‘gateway to the Dukeries’. This influence is even reflected in the town centre.
At Bridge Street and Bridge Place - the heart of Worksop’s thriving retail community - coloured stone is set into the paving on the pedestrian streets, depicting the local heraldic crests. There is also a paved maze featuring a heraldic lion and unicorn, giving the town a sense of real historical character.
The Augustian Priory of St Cuthbert and St Mary in Worksop was founded in 1103 and the surviving part consists of the nave, western front and twin towers, built in the late 12th century. Further information about heritage sites in Worksop town centre can be found via the Worksop Heritage Trail.
Markets in Worksop are being held Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
I hope you enjoy this walking tour of Worksop Town Centre!

Hats off to Worksop for looking so clean and litter-free despite the signs of decline. Love from Scotland.
Well said
Thank you for this! I lived at my band mates flat in Worksop many years ago and I walked the same streets many times. He was born and raised in Worksop and we now live in the US. Lots of places have been hit hard over the last couple of decades. Hopefully things will turn around and Worksop will thrive once again.
I've lived here for 40+ years and it's gradually decreased in popularity in the town centre. I'm surprised that you didn't bump into the local druggies through the centre as they're always around the trader clock or bus station (thankfully you didn't go that route) It's a shame it's becoming a ghost town, maybe visit during a market day if you want to see people although it's not a lot better but more variety. The first building you passed just after eyres that was boarded up used to be the ship Inn which was popular as a pub in the 80's and 90's before it closed. Many of the shops now are charity shops, pubs or food establishments. Even after all these years living here this is the first time for a while I've seen the town from top to bottom as the supermarkets around the outskirts seem to take away the business for the centre and with the price of parking in town it makes it pointless to drive in to shop at the smaller shops. Glad to see you made a video of the place hopefully the local council will see and try and bring custom back to town. Keep posting the videos they certainly show me places to visit in the future 👌🙂
Danny Wilson is always hanging around the trader clock Worksops biggest dosser
@@tonymcmontana663 Worksop’s most famous guy 😂
@@colz5203 I’ve heard he’s been banned from town now 😂
@@freddier47 yeah i heard that too 😂
Love seeing the town. I visit regularly from Texas. Really gave me my fix till my next trip.
Legend I live here and it never fails to amaze you 🤣
Excellent video. Good to see the town so clean and tidy when you did this. It is usually busier than this though but I think with certain people hanging around, you filmed at the right time. Every time I go to town, there are some colourful characters around the Trader Clock, and I expect you'd have had a cut edit on your hands if they were there.
Born and bred Worksop I am, proud of the town and history. Shame some people ruin it and the council don't seem to care that much about the shops. I used to do walkthroughs of Worksop many years ago, the videos haven't aged very well, but will probably do another one next year when I start making videos again. It won't be anywhere near the excellent quality of this though. Great work. :)
People don't visit the town due to car parking charges, a lack of shops, doorways filled with homeless people is heartbreaking, and the amount of disrespectful street drinkers that congregate daily by the clock
People say the exact same thing about any town or city I film to be fair
Good informative video, I visit the place once a month on market day, it has declined over the years and I get the impression the council has given up on the place and the locals just seem to have accepted it, such a shame because the locals are honest hard working proud people
True
The commercial route walked in this Vlog used to be very busy with people out and about with the exception of a Sunday, Times certainly do change.
The DPD van at the beginning is the reason its so quiet! Online shopping, lovely film though.
This is really great indeed.. nice present and stabilize of walking with just an IPhone filming .
We plan to visit our friends in this Worksop town this upcoming summer.. thanks a lot of showing us..🙏🙏
Thank you so much 😊
Oh dear very quiet place looks like it’s going the same way as lots of towns & cities, I live in Sheffield & work in chesterfield and they’re the same🥹
Sheffield is always busy though
I studied at worksop north notts collegue 1976-1978. I note now is much less busy than then. I enjoyed my stay there and i lived outside town in costhorpe 30th norhumberland ave., the home of mr Charles and Misses Anne Booth to whom i always remain indebted
Thanks for a look at my families home town, not been back for many years ,believe me it's a busy place, with lots to explore, 👉👍👈
Thanks Alan!
I'm going to go back on a market day i think
Believe me it's not the same place, it's dire
@@nigelcopestake3618 hi my family were born there, so I'm talking 60 plus years ago, its changed beyond my recognition, so unsure how it is today, 🤔
Glad you focus on positives! Catch 22! People don't come because lack of shopping opportunity, shops don't come because of lack of trade.
So true!
Good tour Worksop was where I was born
Worksop's been dying slowly for the last 15 years.....and the last couple of years hasn't helped .. more shops closed and to let...than what's open
I stopped coming when they introduced car parking fees as I never have change so in end I was like oh don’t bother 🥴🥴🥴
Grew up there in the 50s and 60s. Was a great town then. So sad to see it now. Its soul has died.
Please can you turn the filters off ? The enhanced reds and greens almost spoilt this otherwise good video. Would have been nice if you had continued down Newcastle avenue towards the library and beautiful gardens near the war memorial and a quick peek at the Priory. Was there any reason why you didn’t have a quick look at the precinct? Would have only taken a few minutes. Hope you take my comments constructively as they are meant. Keep up the good vids, it’s nice to see the places we hadn’t been to.
Thank you - some good feedback
The filters are an issue as they look great on my editing screen but crazy on my tv!
Looks like it in the Melbourne Australia lockdown
I like it at worksop only lived there 7 years but its ok 👍🏻
Nice one - I will be back on market day for another look around
Nice views of Worksop Clown Centre
Ok
how its changes from when i was a kid 70 years ago
Could you please do one of Chesterfield in Derbyshire. Thanks 🙏 xx
Here you go - th-cam.com/video/-Dk588BmXKY/w-d-xo.html
That't the latest one!
hi there my mum used to live on sandy lane in a bungelow but sadly she gave it up. i lived in worksop in my younger years when it was more lively then
I lived in Worksop for my hole life so far
It would have been busier on a Friday at its market day on bridge Street.
True
I just don't understand how those shops stay open on a day to day basis though - there seemed to be nobody shopping there at all
Should have gone on a Weds, Fri or Sat Market days. The pub on the left at 3 mins 53 is owned by Mike Ashley of Sports Direct/Newcastle. Gone down hill over lockdown. Too many shops closed. So not as vibrant as it used to be, but at least you can get free boxing on a Fri/Sat night anywhere in town.
That’s an interesting one about Mike Ashley - do you know why he’s got that place?
@@GimbalWalkTV Not sure on that. I heard it was for business meetings as he lives Nr Bolsover, and has his main warehouse at Shirebrook in Derbyshire.
What time does it open ? Some nice odd bits of architecture though.
You do not want to come here my friend it is nothing like how it is portrayed here
you didnt refer to the patron saint of werksup- the venrable daniel wilson?
Oh Danny Wilson. What a guy
Very quiet town looks like it going the same way as a lot of towns these days it's a shame
DPD van straight away!
My home town.👍
Nice one! I like going to worksop
Met a girl 1968, Ann Simpson, who was going to live here.. Always wondered what it looked like.
It's ok - bit quiet though!
Im a Worksopian. You're not missing much.
😮😮😮
Use to be a nice town to live in, now looks so depressing, glad I moved out.
nice
Some nice looking buildings but seems to be too quiet for 11am on a weekday.
Did they take all the down and outs away before filming?
@@nigelcopestake3618 not quite sure why you're asking me this question, I'm only the viewer 😊
Walked straight passed the lion , didn't even look !!
Which lion?
@@GimbalWalkTV The lion hotel at top of bridge street , sorry you probably don't live in worksop.
I live near Worksop. It as gone down hill a lot. Needs more money put into it.
Yes - it's like many places I visit - needs investment
Been here once, but it was about 15 years ago, so things would have changed a lot
As a person who lives here and as a younger person I can say it's not bad there is bad areas but overall not bad
Well said 👍❤️
nice lot of shops
Empty shops and charity shops!
Nice place : )
Terrible to see a town dying like this....In real need of investment.
You must have picked a good day! It's like rats leaving a sinking ship! Shops are closing left right and centre! Banks closing making us travel 20 miles for our nearest branch! Stuff them! Put my money in bank of Ken Dodd! To those who don't know, take your money out the bank. Use cash!
I see you at 17:44
😮😮
Where is the ethnic community?
Not sure what you mean
What do you mean?
@@GimbalWalkTV Not many ‘darker’ faces. Seems to be very, dare I say it “white”.
@@nickbaker9723there are a lot of people of different ethnic backgrounds actually in Worksop , there is even a west African shop that sells hair products and other cultural products. Granted it doesn’t look like it on this video. I suppose it’s hard to show the diversity on a relatively short walk through video. But there are lots of Eastern Europeans , afro-Caribbean, Asian, Indian and Turkish people
They should have a street named after Bruce Dickinson.
Yes! Definitely
In a way they have Dickings road where he grew up on lol
Full of Danny Wilsons
Hey Mate great vlog again .... Never been too Worksop looks ok ....... Any chance you go flim Holmefirth please love too see it mate if u can thanku 💯😊
This last few years the town has been slowly getting worse. More crime. drug abuse in public spaces especially since spice has become popular. Lots of shops shutting anti social behaviour its shocking. I have lived her for 15 years and decided to move its so bad. I used to love living here but it's got so bad recently.
Oh no - that doesn't sound good Lilly
RIP mr donald pleasance who was a native.
❤️❤️
Iv seen alot worse than this.... Looks normal to me
A very miserable city. The phone camera does not show reality. I don't recommend it.
The camera does not show reality??
How is that possible?
I've not used CGI?!
Worksop is a shit hole
😮😮😮😮😮
London much worser
Ghost town
Was very quiet
I live there for 7 years get it coz im 7😂
🤣
