Please do St Georges Park

Sad to see the decline of the town - it is not alone as many provincial town centres have suffered the same fate

Thank you - that has reminded me of places of Kidderminster i had long since forgotten

Kidderminster was better 30 years ago than it is now, where has the money gone, maybe that is a question for the local council. It is a ghost town which to be fair to the council is down to Industry dying such as carpets, sea line and the like which in turn has taken shops and pubs. However i would like to see where 20 million pound has been spent.

Such a shame, as many years ago it was a lovely bustling little town! Now its a dump plagued with dossers!

They are doing good work for the physical need for sure, but oh my, the Gospel is what people need the most. The saving of souls is what Jesus came for. There is a street preacher in Kidderminster who has a heart for the lost and gets a lot of abuse but he persists because this is a matter for eternity and Jesus Christ is our only hope and Saviour.❤

Use to be an outside lido near reservoir rd too. Closed for health reasons. Too many frogs!

Kidderminster was once the Wealthiest Town in Worcestershire" with the Massive carpet Industry, Sadly those Industrial days are sadly gone, Think Worcester street needs to be open up to traffic again" A better Bus route for the town centre too, Hope the whole town central gets a makeover and get the traders back in the shops instead of them all leaving to go out of town Retail parks, !! The Horsefair got a tidy up" and how better there it now is, ! Sounds around aye"! remember that shop very well" You would also know then and sure you had paid a visit to my Brothers Record shop Mr Tee Records,! When i last had a visit to Kidderminster i thought how many folks were around the town and chatting like the old days of Woolies" TJ Hughes" Hunters" Wilko" Penny Black" etc, .

Depressing to watch this, mini markets, nail studios, tattoo studios, vape shops everywhere, fast food shops,coffee shops and of course the many barbers usually Turkish barbers then of course the the odd betting shop. This is typical of many small towns in this country now out of town shopping centres have killed off town centre quality shops even banks and post offices are hard to find.

The Farmers boy was never the Market tavern, which stood the other side of the carpark behind the Farmers boy.

Kidderminster was so amazing growing up there, although I hadn't realised then as to young and hadn't travelled so much. Sadly this is happening to most towns and cities in England. Real shame what the government have done over to the country over the last 30+ years. 😢

Not one Safe road crossing to the park?

Brinton Park is on Sutton Common. As in 'common land' where people can let their livestock graze for free. It was never Brinton's to 'gift' in the first place. Do you remember the first world war tank overlooking Stourport Road in the 1960's? I remember the pond and the Japanese bridge. Thanks for the video :)

What a great report, well done. What a scandal.... £2.9 million to paint a bandstand.. Have you asked Wyre Forest Council to explain how the money has been spent? You can also do a FOI request if they don't answer you.

no.

The person from Kidderminster Arrested in the Nicola Bulley case is Barber Curtis Arnold after his past convictions were published in national newspapers he moved to Swindon and now calls himself DJE Media on You Tube and goes around the country filming Auditing You tube videos .

The UK Mini Market in Coventry Street is a vape shop that has been raided many times for seling illegal cigarettes and vapes to adults and children .The Kiddy Mini Market in Worcester Street also sells to underage children .

3:42 I remember these toilets used to stink really bad, they've been closed for years, honestly not surpised, haha. xD

My dad told me that the brown field site mentioned at 10:00 is a burial ground from the plauge, which was, then, out of the town. That's why it has never been built upon!

Thanks for these videos. I've always been interested in the history of my town and how it has developed over the decades. I love how you integrate the history of the places you visit! So interesting. Thank you.

If i remeber right there used to be display cabinets full of Action Men dotted around the High Street but that was 45 years erst.

Did you say that your boyfriend sold you a an old cobble for £50 ?

No foreigner can say worcestershire properly 😂

I do blame the council for some of this. Some of the gutters are completely blocked, litter is scattered. Bits of rubble as you see here. And it is a shame really, especially with Wilko’s. Kiddie isn’t a bad town, it just needs more money involved. I’m not big on some of the stores really ether, but it’s not eh worst place to live. Judy could be a lot better.

I remember the pretty water fountain with flowrs outside the old post office (crown house) ❤and the brintons park pool

I used to own the Mumtaz Restaurant on Blackwell st ...early 90s

Thank you xx

Shame, they originally said they were going to build a replica GWR station, to blend with the SVR one. Then suddenly it became a 4 million pound glass shed that is almost empty, if they close the ticket office, it will be empty. If there were some shops or something it would be better but at the moment it just looks a bit pointless. Sorry, not a fan.

I working there few years ago. Beautiful town. I'm from Poland

Unfortunately for the residents Kidderminster as a shopping town is finished. The town centre moved out and to boot the local councillors have decided that a park should be built in the so called shopping centre.centre.

Going to build a park? Now where have I heard that before? .. oh yes, when they knocked down crown house. You missed where Havon was before it burnt down ( near the new collage) old concrete slab with weeds with temporary fencing for how many years now? Was a great town and could be again I hope. Great video, if you come again, try the Thai stand in the market:)

We need more vids of Kidderminster as things start to change, and be honest.... all the shops that are opening up are just rubbish illegal vape shops, they're not good 😆 need more updates on what's happening to shopping centres and Derelict buildings.

And that's kiddy on a busy day, this town really needs some work, it's depressing living here. I see those old 80s drive around videos and the amount of people walking around is insane. What happened kiddy 🥲

Thank you for making this video very informative Great content please keep making video's ❤

Really enjoyed the historical pics. Kidderminster was once a thriving well respected town, then the Ring road happened and knocked the soul out of it. Just my opinion.

Didn't Hugh Dennis turn the Christmas lights on in Kidderminster one year? As a former resident of Kidderminster (Stourbridge road just opposite the Springfield park) i will admit it needed a fair bit of regeneration back then... I thought they were building a hotel where the post office used to be?

Jesus saves . Not on my salary he wouldn't

Mirrored video? It’s a bit aimless…

How lovely. Hopefully they will grow more people

Sounds around was my place to shop 🎼 🎶

I haven't been back to Kidderminster for many years, it's sad they've got rid of some of the older buildings and replaced them with modern monstrosities, I only recognised some of the places , very sad, there's no character left from what I can see from your video, shame on the planners...

Wonderful trip down memory lane, although very sad to see Kidderminster these days, was amazing place to grow up. The town centre was packed with people, shops and general fun atmosphere. Thanks

Great new channel, loved the tour round the town centre of Kidderminster, with historic pictures of the 'good old times'. 😊
