Hello, I met your channel today and I loved it. Maybe I'll spend a season in Derby and it was great to get to know a little bit of the city through you. Thank you very much.
Thank you 🙏
What i like about Gimbal walk TV they just show it how it is. Many other city tours are heavily edited to pray on empty shops, derelict buildings, empty baron weed covered pieces of land, homeless and drug users. This of course puts people off from visiting and deters investment in those areas. Thank you for showing people how our towns and cities really are Gimbal Walk TV.
Thank you
I have no time for those videos that put places down
Life’s too short isn’t it! ❤️
@@GimbalWalkTV Thank you there should be a law against such, if they were on tv they would have action taken against them.
Love Derby
👍👍👍
Derby does have some hidden gems but also needs a huge injection of cash as do most city centres. The post war building are very ugly and showing their age would be lovely if they replaced them with some beautiful classic architecture but unfortunately that probably won’t happen as the council have neither the money or the inclination so probably more cheap ugly red brick box type building will be built. More greenery and street trees would improve things greatly. Thanks for the tour😊
Thank you
Agree with your thoughts there 👍👍
A great video of DERBY CITY CENTRE - Full Walking Tour✔✔
Thank you
Oooo wow how beautiful the building are
Yeh
Really enjoyed this, thank you
Thanks so much!
More to come!
Always love your videos but I've lived all my life just outside Derby used to go in all the time but i will not spend a single minute in there now.
It’s a bit dull isn’t it 🤣
Derby to me is one of the birth places of the Railway revolution, plus is one of the most haunted cities in England to so I've been told.
Used to go to Derby a lot in the past, but sadly the place is looking a bit run down now, but on a positive note, it's nice to see the City rejuvenating again thankfully.
On another note, have you tried going to Burton on Trent yet.?
It's a lovely place with a lot of places to walk around and lots of old buildings dotted around the town.
Some lovely architecture. Was beginning to think Derby had no shops until you went in the shopping centre😅. Im always curious about the shopping opportunities so thanks
Yes the shops seem to mostly be In that shopping centre I think!
I was going to film more of it but got lost 🤣
Loved video ive only been to derby once it was years ago.liked the buildings and a lot of history i dont think id go back too many memories no disrespect to you neil love your channel.hope you didn't get too wet and you found your car 🙏
Found it eventually!
Oh dear....I've lived just outside Derby for over 20 years, and I won't even entertain the dump
So many saying the same thing
in St peters their is a lot of people buried their when the black death struck the town a third of the population of St peters died it was the most populated part of derby so they had to bury them vertically because of lack of space for burial
Lovely video as always, prefer UK towns & cities, but that is just me.
Have you ever done the walk around Matlock Bath and then alongside the River Derwent to Matlock?
Sometimes you will be able to see canoeists going through the slalom course on the river.
I have yes - it's on my channel
I need to go back again though as it's been too long since the last time!
Not been to Derby for a number of years for the day,, we have stopped off during pick ups on coach tours twice.
What do you think of the city centre there?
@@GimbalWalkTV Was quite nice , we went on a Sunday for the day
Marketon Park is where I went for Pride last September. Then was around the city centre. I have videos. My father used to live in the city. My former supervisor was managing Savers in the city. You have that Church which is a now a nightclub.
Was Pride good in Derby?
Hope you had a good time
Thanks for the video, my wife and I used to shop in Derby 50 years ago, didnt recognise many places I must say. Is there any chance you could do a video of Burton on Trent ? We used to live there 50 years ago before moving to the end of the earth in Tasmania :)
Oh yes I’m heading that way soon actually
Tasmania eh! That’s quite the leap!
I,m a 72 yr old derby bloke that lives one mile from city(town) centre and have not stepped foot there in 8 yrs.. its a dump and in death throws. We go to notts.. which breaks my heart... p.s watch the Cheapside bit again the bloke in front is a traffic warden, thats what derby is best at.....
😮😮😮
I lived in Derby all my life until I moved up to North Yorkshire 10 years ago. St Peter's Street looks terrible with a poor array of shops, and those awful buildings on the old Debenhams site are new to me! The shopping centre is okay. Poor Derby, it's not all bad. It's got some lovely parks and Derby County, of course! ;)
❤️❤️❤️
It's holding up a lot better than most other places. Agree about St Peters Street though. Same for Victoria Street. Also awful.
Sadler gate is beautiful part of deby . The old bell pub ive been in . The one place ive not yet been to the muesum of the making .
I know it as the Silk Museum. It had the Tower of London Poppies cascading from the top when they were touring their display around the country.
Sadler gate is now half empty im afraid to say.
Such a sad array of fanulous archetecture. Lived in a nearby village for almost 20 yrs so this was a good shopping trip visit. Not anymore. You didnt mention the resident Peregrine Falcons in Derby Cathedral. They have bred lots of babies there for many years all with CCTV cameras on them for interested people to watch them hatch & grow. Makes the news often!
Where I live lol !!
Do you like it there?
@@GimbalWalkTV yeah it’s a nice small city.. got some good parks !

This high street is following the demise of so many.
PS the Derby Assembly Rooms was fab space for shows etc. They had a small fire about 15- 20 yrs ago & its never been fixed since. Such a waste, could bring lots of money in & now I think the Council is totally broke & strapped for cash. 😢
Derby City Center is an awesome place and as always when I
look at a city it's the buildings, shops/stores and restaurants/pubs,
the beautiful scenery and countryside of the city or village and this
is definitely an awesome place Thanks for the fantastic tour as always
Thank You GW TV.🇬🇧🙏🇬🇧
Thank you!
Have a great weekend ❤️
The Assembly Rooms are going to be demolished. There was a fire in the carpark there that caused smoke damage and stuff inside about 10 years ago. The Guild Hall Market should be reopening in 2025 but delayed from 2024. It's been closed for about 3 or 4 years whilst they added a new roof and done all the inside up. We literally have no markets left in the City Centre. Also you're not far from the Hippodrome on St. Peter's Street. Although now rundown and falling to bits it's still interesting to visit. There's videos of it on CZcams of how it was and how it is now. It's in a shocking state. Urban explorers have been inside
Guildhall market no, market hall yes,
👍💗💗💗
❤️
👍👍👍
@@GimbalWalkTV 💗👍🥰
comparing your video of Nottingham and Derby I think I prefer Nottingham for its magnificent square and domed building
I agree with yourself on that one
derby was where the last person to be hanged drawn and quartered in 1817
Have you filmed lichfield
Not yet but just added to my filming list
The only town that has a waterfall, but no water in it
😮😮
Hate these outsiders commenting about not visiting Derby. Stay where you are because we don't want to visit your place anyway.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This vid shows you’re quality, as you’ve made Derby look pretty good. Anyone thinking it’s a good place to visit…. Please don’t as it’s a sh1t place.
🤣🤣🤣 I can’t deny that 🤣
I thought Manchester was the birthplace of the industrial revolution?
Think both cities are claiming it!
Want to live in uk
You should come - you'd be welcome
Black patchers of tarmac, where block paving should be ugly the council Botch everything in derby that's why derby has become a total shit hole
😮😮😮😮
I an Derby born and bred, and to me the pedestrianisation has ruined the city centre. Derby had character now it has none. Thank Christ I live in Manchester.
