Thanks for your informative post, may I add something? I understand that the plinth that supports the Christmas tree adjacent to the church is an drainage inspection cover that was thoughtfully designed to accommodate a raised circular seating area, when not required for tree duties.
What a brilliant little fact! I would never have noticed that in a million years - thank you so much for pointing it out! I'll pin your comment to the top so everyone can see - Tipton really is full of surprises :) Thank you so much for watching and your very informative comment - I'm really glad you liked the video!
8:36 - Tipton Library (Carnegie building) next to Victoria Park. Also Horseley Heath (part of Tipton), a Carnegie Building called Horseley Heath post office.
The only times I've been / seen Tipton and Dudlai is from the rear deck of a narrowboat - thus your view from dry land was most invigorating. Thank You!
Thank you so much! The canal certainly is a great way to pass through Tipton, but there is even more to see on dry land :) Thank you very much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Tipton is an interesting little place, and the cradle of such an important part of British history :)
Nice walk, have hear a few tales of the Tipton Slasher. While in a pub he turned away from his drink and when he turned back the glass was empty. He was reported to say the first person to burp gets thumped.
Ha ha! That's a great story, he seems like quite the character - no wonder they've immortalised him in Tipton! Thanks for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thank you very much, I know Owen Street well, going off this street, it's all new builds, I barely recognise the place now. Tipton hight street is the only street in the UK that is cut off both ends with a canal. 😮
Very interesting walk, especially about the 'Tipton Slasher'. I see that there appears to be a lot of modern housing developments that have taken place. I presume they have built these on the disused industrial sites?
Thank you very much for watching, I'm really glad you liked the video! Much of the recent housing developments have been built on old industrial land - and there are more and more plans every year for new builds :)
Thanks! It was a nice, quiet morning for a walk and a good chance to show off what Tipton has to offer. Thanks for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :)
Loved the Walk through Tipton which is close to The Black Country Museum where Peaky Blinders is filmed. During World War One in 1916 Tipton was bombed by a German Zeppelin raid and 14 people were killed in Union Street.
I didn't know that Peaky Blinders was filmed at the museum! Thank you so much for the informative comment and for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed this walk in Tipton :)
Thank you , my parents and grandparents immigrated to Melbourne Australia, from here , I was first born in Australia, but my heritage is from here. Visited twice in the eighties. I'm no now 63 yo
Thanks! It's a nice 'little' town and the gardens by the old canal are very lovely, with a good bit of fighting history too! Thanks for watching as always, hope you're keeping well :)
Always lovely to hear from a local, thank you so much for offering to answer questions - there's even more to know about Tipton than I managed to squeeze into this brief walk :)
So my family name is Tipton and I live in USA. I have always been very interested in knowing where my family history is from. To know there is a place called Tipton makes me so curious about my family and if we could have possibly migrated from UK to USA at one point.
It's very possible! There are a couple of Tiptons around the UK but this is certainly the biggest nowadays, so it could very well be the place where your family came from - if so I hope you enjoyed this walk around your potential ancestral hometown! Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@LetsWalkUK Thank you so much for your response. I definitely enjoyed the walk through. Thinking to take a trip one day. It seems like a very lovely place. And if I am ever able to find a connection to my family there, I will for sure update this comment. Thank you so much for your videos and kind words. Have a Happy New year. 😊
An interesting commentary but the walk never gets near to the centre of the town (which is very close to where the three electoral wards meet) and isn't the largest shopping area in Tipton which is in Great Bridge. You could have mentioned that (since the closure of The Red Lion) The Fountain is the oldest pub in Tipton that is still trading.
Oh no! My apologies for missing out on some of the main sights of Tipton - but thank you very much for pointing that out, and also for the clarification about The Fountain :) Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video!
Ha ha I'm glad you got to see your house on film! I hope you enjoyed this walk around Tipton too - it's a fascinating little town :) Thank you so much for watching!
Canal barges were towed along by one shire horse and could move along as much as 40 tons of coal each barge...as a result of all the coal mining it was called the "Black country", now much of it is called "black country" for other reasons hahaha!!

Unfortunately it was tree lined in quite a few places but the council cut them down and new gas water ans internet services put paid to the rest
A Tiptonian here. If I can answer any questions I will. (The first 1 min is Owen Street BTW).
Always lovely to hear from a local, thank you so much for offering to answer questions - there's even more to know about Tipton than I managed to squeeze into this brief walk :)
What a beautiful.
It's a fascinating place indeed! Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Is tipton safe for living? if anyone can reply it will be very helpful I am planning to move?
A shadow of its past ,I lived there in the sixties
Good ol sunny Tipton.
Indeed!

Jeremy Clarkson states that Birmingham canals have more shopping trolleys than Venice.
