One of my fellow students from "The School of Photography" in the UK lives in this area, and she posted some photos, that led me to do a search, that landed me here. I am from North Carolina, and I haven't had the privilege of traveling abroad, so videos of this type are nice to watch.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed this short little tour of Frome. I do enjoy watching tour videos of places in the USA as , I too, can't get there due to other commitments here. The internet can truly be wonderful! Cheers, Paul
Hello Paul - greetings from Poland. Our first time in Somerset and what a fabulous place you have chosen. A superb opener with Brunels magnificent train shed opened in 1850 and now Grade 2 listed! I love Frome. It's many years since I've been there. Thanks to you, you've brought back many happy memories. I must now admit, that I love visiting all the places you take me to. BUT, my highlight of every trip, are the wonderful still photographs you attach during and at the end of every video. "Publish and be damned" Paul! Put them in a book. You have a great talent. Thank you so very much for yet another brilliant video.
Oh gosh, this is a weird one. I really didn't like this town - and it is the only video I have hated making. I got chased by some people trying to grab my camera, and some children were deliberately shouting when they realised I was filming. I won't return! For some unfathomable reason, this video became popular. Very rude people in the two shops I went into too. A very talented musician called Eric Bibb had a similar experience when he performed at the 'Cheese and Grain' venue in the town. It's not a great place Michael. Thanks for putting up with watching this nonsense anyway - probably my worst video - the exact opposite of 'Autumnal Gold' and the fact the viewing figures are transposed tells me a lot about human nature. Cheers, Paul 🙂👍
Frome has obviously changed a lot since I was last there. Having consulted my sister, it has to be 1960/61. Childhood memories are fantastic. My mother was born in Caerfilly but brought up in Symonds Yat. We spent many a very happy Easter holiday in the Cotswolds and Wye Valley.
@@michaelpilling9659 Yes, I am sure it was a lovely town once upon a time. It seems, how can I put this, to attract a certain type now. I love both the Wye Valley and Symonds Yat, although it can get a little busy there, if you pick your moment, you can get it to yourself. Yes, I do have many happy memories of childhood holidays - particularly from the Lake District. Thanks again, Paul.
Thank you. I had not explored it before - Somerset is a 'new' county for me to wander around and make videos in. I was running out of light, so it was shot quite quickly. Glad you liked it. Thanks again Stephen, take care, Paul.
There are so many similarities between your towns in UK, and the towns here in New England, including the names. I wish I could visit UK. Great job as usual, Paul. Thanks for sharing this.
Likewise with me travelling to the USA Jay. Apart from the cost, the pandemic rules it out at the moment, unfortunately. Watch out for my December vlog in a week or so, which will have a connection to Pennsylvania, USA. Yes, many similarities with both countries. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍 Paul.
Thank you for this! Some years ago, genealogical research revealed that my earliest Barnes family ancestor here in America came from this quaint little town in Somersetshire, England. As boy of sixteen, he sailed to New York with his parents and numerous siblings in 1848. They all returned to Frome after a time -- except for my great-great-grandfather Charles Barnes, who made a go of it alone in Utica, New York. It is unlikely he ever saw his family again. He was a butcher by trade, enlisted to fight in the Civil War, saw Abraham Lincoln with his own eyes twice, and suffered horribly from chronic illness acquired during the War, dying in 1870. It appears that many of the descendants of his parents' Barnes family still reside in and around Frome; yet, I have no reason whatever to believe any of them possess a clue at all they have an enormous contingent of distant cousins in the States. One day, should it ever be possible, I would like to visit Frome and extend greetings on behalf of the "lost" branch. 🙂 In the meantime, I shall content myself with a virtual tour.
That's a fantastic comment Mark! Really adds some background to my little video tour. You never know, someone from the Frome area with your surname may see your comment and get in touch! Here's hoping! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍 Paul
Thank you Roy. Yes, it was just a stopping off point really on the way to Devon. Just had a bit of light to film and photo before the end of the day. Thanks again, Paul.
Interesting to see what Frome looks like as I've never been there, but passed it by on the A36 many times on the way to Southampton area from Gloucestershire many years ago.
Hi Ted, yes it was my first proper explore around the town too. As you say, it is somewhere you kind of pass by on the A36 when heading South or South West, so I thought I'd stop enroute to Devon. I really don't know Somerset at all well, but will explore it further and more fully next year. Thanks again, Paul.

Sorry for the delay in replying debs! I have only just seen your comment. Hope you enjoyed your hot chocolate while you were watching my video. Have a super weekend! Take care, Paul.
I only live in Westbury and yet have never visited Frome to wander around. Pathetic really, but that is what seems to happen. I'm 55 years old, live less than 25 miles from Stonehenge and have been...once...as a child. "Familiarity breeds contempt"?
Thank you Philip! Yes, often people have been abroad, but not 20 miles down the road - it is very common! I have seldom been abroad though, and I have been bouncing around the Westcountry doing different job things most of my life. There are still very many places in this fabulous region that I have not yet visited though. Never enough time! Cheers, Paul.
