I thought at the start, oh no, this is deserted. But then it recovered. It looks to be surviving better than a lot of inner cities. You saw the weather and went to Mansfield on the very day I tried to hit the Peaks. You definitely had he safer idea. Thanks for sharing, Steven, and I hope you and Karen have a very Merry Christmas x
Great video as always mate, this is where I live and have all my life. I’ve seen the decline of the town over the years, like most places I guess. All the industry moved away, closed down 20/30 odd years ago, and the market used to be busy most days of the week. Lack of investment over the years have run the town down, however, I still call this home and wouldn’t change where I live for the world.
Lovely walk through Mansfield! 🚶♂ The scenery is charming, and the peaceful vibe of the town is perfectly captured. A great way to explore the area! 🌳
After that bad start at the Rosemary Centre and some horrible brutalist architecture the town definitely lifted my spirits! That dog was a bit random 😂 spoons looked busy! Looks like there were some Mansfield football shirts there so maybe they had a game on? Ah yeah last Saturday before xmas, they were at home. Nice one Steven, tatty-bye!
Shame about the first shopping centre. It’s always a mystery when councils build shopping centres near existing ones. The second shopping centre looked vibrant, im guessing they built that after the first one! Nice drummer boys. Market too, decent place this! Wow that dog was crazy checking out the women having their hair cut! Pubs, statues, museums and even the grinch, this place is bucking trends! Well done avoiding the 50mph winds, a sensible decision to avoid them! The weatherspoons was rammed! Christmas Eve to start shopping 😱 great tour got a good feel for the place! 👍
hi folks...nice place this, the highlight for me was the Dog on the trike...i followed him for a while, he was hilarious, looking in every shop...he really put a smile on everyone's face.
This is something different from climbing again hill! Well, I have never seen you talk with a dog on a bike in the mountains before. Lol Have a great Sunday and of course a Merry Christmas coming up!
You found some shops. Looks like a fun time for the holidays. Seems a lot of towns have runs down sections. Still the square looks nice. Thanks for taking us along. Merry Christmas!
I haven't been to Mansfield- looked very festive for the holidays! The mall you walked through looked a bit crowded- nice shops outside along the street. Do you play drums? That looked fun! Well, I guess you have a few days left to get your shopping done, lol!! Merry Christmas!!
Glad you didn't come to the Peak District Steven cos it is really bad with rain and winds...Drove back from Glossop to Buxton earlier and it was hard keeping the car on the road with the winds...I do like Mansfield going by your vid...looked a generous lot of folk donating to the drummers, or were they taking money out😂...I don't bloody believe it...I had a pint of Fosters with my Xmas dinner with the lads in Glossop and that wasn't why the car was all over the road I hasten to add😇...Yer beggar...I have got dribble on my chin now...was supping a glass of beer ready to post my comment when you reappeared again and I pulled the glass away from my gob to quick...Enjoyed this one Steven...Cheers Les.🙂👍
Thanks Les...i had no idea about the wind until you mentioned it last night...yeah those drummers were very popular...nearly got my fingers stuck in the hole as i slipped my tenner in...my first visit here, enjoyed it, hope to get back to the PD soon.
Enjoyed your look around Mansfield. The shopping centre looked great. The drums sounded good. That dog on the bike made us smile. Pub was very popular. Pleased you found a quieter one. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi Dave and Dawn...Thanks so much for your continued support...i could have followed that dog around all day, he was so funny...have an peaceful Christmas folks..
My kinda town! Lots to see and seemed to be a good variety of shops - I did see a couple of charity shops, which is a bonus when visiting towns and cities 😂 loved the drumming, bet it really gave off a seasonal vibe! Have a great evening! 😊
That was cool that steve. I see the town still has a pretty historical core amid the modern decay. And hey it can fill a pub. About the same size as Gloucester - looks the same too. Thanks for sharing. Mark
Hi Mark...yeah some nice old buildings there and lot's of modern decay too..i am sure Gloucester has had a lot more spent on it than little old Mansfield...always good to get out and see these places that you wouldn't normally think of visiting, always a few surprises.
The 1st close protection job I did was in Mansfield looking after a celebrity who was in panto for a week - loved the talking dog, shall see if we can get our dog to talk or ride a bike - happy christmo
I'm pretty sure you'll be the only video on youtube this week with a talking dog on a trike! It didn't look very promising to start with but Mansfield certainly got better the closer you got to the square in the centre. Does Karen know she's getting a Christmas present from a 24 hour garage? 🤣
Not bad town steven had a lot to it didn’t it …anyway I’d like to say thank you both for an amazing year of entertainment..have a well earned happy Christmas 🎅 &hope to watch many more videos in the new year 😊

Hi There...merry Christmas...have a nice festive time.
I thought at the start, oh no, this is deserted. But then it recovered. It looks to be surviving better than a lot of inner cities. You saw the weather and went to Mansfield on the very day I tried to hit the Peaks. You definitely had he safer idea. Thanks for sharing, Steven, and I hope you and Karen have a very Merry Christmas x

Looks like it got some beautiful parts, but sadly some of the more modern (80’s) building could do with demolishing.
Enjoyed that Steve 👏
Thanks mate...yeah like everywhere, good and bad

My first visit...enjoyed it....cheers Glyn
Great video as always mate, this is where I live and have all my life. I’ve seen the decline of the town over the years, like most places I guess.

Thanks Andy, never knew you were from Mansfield...i have seen a lot worse on my travel...home is were the heart is...cheers mate.

Thanks Jennifer..a nice little walk around the town...yes plenty of time to get the Christmas shopping done.
Glad you didn't come to the Peak District Steven cos it is really bad with rain and winds...Drove back from Glossop to Buxton earlier and it was hard keeping the car on the road with the winds...I do like Mansfield going by your vid...looked a generous lot of folk donating to the drummers, or were they taking money out😂...I don't bloody believe it...I had a pint of Fosters with my Xmas dinner with the lads in Glossop and that wasn't why the car was all over the road I hasten to add😇...Yer beggar...I have got dribble on my chin now...was supping a glass of beer ready to post my comment when you reappeared again and I pulled the glass away from my gob to quick...Enjoyed this one Steven...Cheers Les.🙂👍

Enjoyed your look around Mansfield. The shopping centre looked great. The drums sounded good. That dog on the bike made us smile. Pub was very popular. Pleased you found a quieter one. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi Dave and Dawn...Thanks so much for your continued support...i could have followed that dog around all day, he was so funny...have an peaceful Christmas folks..
My kinda town! Lots to see and seemed to be a good variety of shops - I did see a couple of charity shops, which is a bonus when visiting towns and cities 😂 loved the drumming, bet it really gave off a seasonal vibe! Have a great evening! 😊
Thanks Jenny...i like a good charity shop too...great places to pick up some cool and colourful wool jumpers..
@atrampinthehills.841 The majority of my clothing comes from charity shops! 😃
That was cool that steve. I see the town still has a pretty historical core amid the modern decay. And hey it can fill a pub. About the same size as Gloucester - looks the same too. Thanks for sharing. Mark
Hi Mark...yeah some nice old buildings there and lot's of modern decay too..i am sure Gloucester has had a lot more spent on it than little old Mansfield...always good to get out and see these places that you wouldn't normally think of visiting, always a few surprises.
@atrampinthehills.841 Yeah, a bit of mix in the cityscape Steve. I like mooching about cities - yeah I get the vibe. Cheers old mate.
looked a damp one that steve,thought you would have had a mulled wine..
Now that sounds like a good idea Ken
@ merry Christmas to you and Karen , have a good un🍻
The 1st close protection job I did was in Mansfield looking after a celebrity who was in panto for a week - loved the talking dog, shall see if we can get our dog to talk or ride a bike - happy christmo
Thanks mate...yeah the talking dog was amazing, could have followed him around all day.
I'm pretty sure you'll be the only video on youtube this week with a talking dog on a trike! It didn't look very promising to start with but Mansfield certainly got better the closer you got to the square in the centre. Does Karen know she's getting a Christmas present from a 24 hour garage? 🤣
Hi Andy...yeah that dog was a bit special...i could have followed him all day, he was so funny...very weird talking to a dog that spoke back.
i used to live around the mansfield area but now moved to derbyshre but still visit family there.
It's not a bad little town is it?
Not bad town steven had a lot to it didn’t it …anyway I’d like to say thank you both for an amazing year of entertainment..have a well earned happy Christmas 🎅 &hope to watch many more videos in the new year 😊
Thanks for that Ruth..we will be here next year churning out the videos..gives me something to do..thanks for your support throughout 24.
