The atmosphere of Betchley looks calm and a nice neighborhood to live in. Thank you for sharing this interesting walk tour, keep up the nice quality work and enjoy the weekend! 🙂
It's a Sunday, much busier the rest of the week. I grew up in Bletchley. It was a fantastic place to spend time in the 70's. We had a big Coop department store, Woolworths, WHSmith, Boots, Currys, Dixons, Radio Rentals, Tandy, Hatters, Miss Selfridge, Burtons Menswear, Wimpy, 3 great toy shops a pet shop, a tobacconist a few supermarkets including Sainsbury and Fine Fare. Plus another 30+ shops. But it's slowly declined since Milton Keynes Shopping Centre opened in 1979. I think the only recognisable shop in Bletchley now, is, WHSmith. All the rest have gone. Shame.
A good video of Bletchley Walk: Town Centre【4K】👍👍👍👍👍👍
Much appreciated, thanks!
It's a rather quiet town, I like it. 👍
Nice sunny day for the walk. A simple town as compared to most of your walks. Thank you for the visit.
Thanks. Yeah it's not often but occasionally I find a town centre like this that's basically just one street!

Great video.

When was this filmed? Boots shut down in April 7:00
This is from the 3rd of April. I didn't know it had closed since!
What a dump. Town centre😮seems deserted. Has the old working men's club closed? My late dad was a member for many years.
