A tour of the county town of Stafford. Great for shopping, historic buildings and a beautiful park with a fantastic children's play area. Oh, and don't forget the historic Stafford Castle (free entry!)
@@LearnHow2 I lived their for 8 years but in 2015 I had too move because something happened but when my birthday comes I'm going back down too Stafford to visit my old friends
My hometown! I will admit it's kind of weird seeing a video of your hometown that you know a lot about and have seen a lot of but other people have probably never been or even heard of the place. Edit: Also the river is really high up at the moment because of all the rain from the storms we've had.
Nice video. I'm thinking about bringing the family there for a day and visiting Alton towers on another day. Is the castle open regularly during the weekdays in the summer?
I live in Georgia in the United States and go to Stafford to do Georgia history research in the Earl of Dartmouth Papers in the Staffordshire Record Office. He was the Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1772 to 1775, and there is quite a lot there about Georgia. I love Stafford and Great Britain and can’t wait to get back! We were much better off when we were colonies under the wise laws and good government of Her Majesty than what we have had since, and I for one would be glad for you to take us back!

Great video of a beautiful town with a lot of history. However i feel that it could be made better with a different sound track, and maybe a voice over with historic facts rather than a few written facts. other than that good work I would love to share this if you could make these changes :) lets get more views from around the globe of this great town :)
@@LearnHow2 when I was at the Skate park 7 years ago a man toured to stab kids with needles and the police tased him the amount of organized crimes and drugs that go on behind closed doors in Stafford especially the western road I lived there as a youth I know the crime and how rough it is there

Great vid, thanks.

Great tour for the unfamiliar, thanks!
The only solution is to make the downtown a trendy place to live. How to do that, I don't know.
Stafford has changed a lot
When were you last there?
The church in the video was built by the Romans. There used to be a wooden castle around there as well
Which of the 2 churches are you referring to? St Marys or St Chads? Keep safe.
@@LearnHow2 st chads
