    I lived outside Godalming not far from Guildford for 13 years and grew up there. It's been 20 years now since i moved away to Scotland and I've never been back ever since i left, but part of me yearns to see Guildford again. I'd spend most of my weekends there going to the Odeon, or walking the high street shopping inevitably popping into Games Workshop lol. All the memories are rushing back to me watching this. It hasn't actually changed much over the years. Thank you for posting this.

    Lovely walking tour of parts of Guildford, it's close to my home town and great for walking around, eating out or shopping. There are also some good venues supporting local (and not so local) bands and a lively club with DJ's playing non commercial club music. It's a lively and thriving place.

      Yes, it's great to see them being kept on our highstreets. In Glasgow, they've also been using the old 'Doctor Who' style police boxes as coffee shops too!

    • @LivingWalks
      @LivingWalks  2 роки тому

      Morning Shaniqua, interesting to see the roots of the town in British Columbia. It's funny that settlers kept the names wholesale, I guess it made them feel more 'at home'. I understand that in 1879 it was named Surrey by one of the founders, the Englishman H J Brewer, who believed this Surrey was much like Surrey, England at that time.Thanks for dropping by.
