Rich Lord Travels takes a walk round Dewsbury Town Centre, taking in the Market, the Minster, and much more!
Join me, Rich Lord, on a friendly walking tour through the heart of Dewsbury, a vibrant cultural market town, steeped in history and charm! I embark on a journey that blends the past with the present, exploring iconic landmarks and hidden gems.
Immerse yourself in the bargain laden Dewsbury Market, finding fresh produce and local low cost goods, getting a taste of Dewsbury life without stinging you in the pocket.
Step back in time with Dewsbury's old buildings, wandering round the old and the new, and finding out about the history and the former usage of these structures, each one a testament to Dewsbury's fascinating past.
Stand alongside the iconic and imposing 'Ripper and The Rugby Player' statues and reflect on the compassion embodied in The Good Samaritan statue, a poignant reminder of our shared humanity.
Find solace in the grandeur of Dewsbury Minster. Find out about the history behind this Anglo Saxon church and delve into the history books to find out about the murky past that still is remembered to this day!
Tantalise your taste buds by seeing me try a new cuisine for the very first time. There is so much to try and taste around Dewsbury and I enjoyed my dip into a different food type.

Dewsbury is an absolute SWAMP. It has been neglected for years. It used to be a great place and having spent virtually every weekend there growing up as my parents were born and bred there. My dad joined the RAF back in the day and never went back. Dewsbury was a vibrant and thriving place for years and especially wonderful at Christmas. The market was one of the best and people came from miles around. An absolute shame the way it is now, so sad.

A lot of market towns aren't what they used to be and that is for many reasons, such as places like White Rose Shopping Centre, more range of shops in cities like Leeds, and that a lot of people are now buying online. Part of the purpose of my video was to show that you can still get lots of things from the market and that the people there were really welcoming and friendly. I think it is up to us all to help keep these places going. Thanks for watching the video.

It's nice to see someone making a positive video about dewsbury, it makes a change from those depressing bores who turn up with the sole intention of slagging the place off, at least you came when the market was open , those other guys always come when it's closed , you actually missed all the larger retail stores all of which are just five minutes walk from the bus station which makes it a very good place for shopping.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I get frustrated when people only look for negatives when there is so much good in Dewsbury and many other places. My philosophy is that I'd want to feel welcome to return in future wherever I go and find even more good places to see to recommend, so I will check out the retail stores you mention and also down by Savile Town Wharf too which is very nice. Dewsbury is a lovely place and more people should visit to realise this.

I for one am not slagging Dewsbury off. I am just stating facts as they really are. I live here and it is just amazing how it has gone downhill in just the last couple of months. It used to be such a good place to live with always plenty to do and many's the time you could go on the Long Causeway and see folks having picnics.

@@allengower669 I think that’s symptomatic of a lot of northern places. There is so much still good around and people are so friendly. Still lots of reasons for people to visit and help keep our town centres alive. The food on the market was delicious. I’m definitely looking forward to returning for more soon!

On the market now you will be lucky to see a dozen stalls occupied.

You’ll see on the video that there were plenty of stalls open when I visited. There may have been more in years gone by but you could still get lots of different things and lots of nice food when I visited.

Thanks for watching the video, Eric. I hope you enjoyed it. Yes, it was early on a Saturday morning when I arrived and the numbers increased certainly at the market as the morning went on, but unfortunately not enough people go to some smaller market towns (same as my home town Pontefract too) as they'd rather go to the larger cities or out of town retail parks. I hope I have managed to portray there are still sufficient reasons to visit smaller towns at least once in a while and to support them as they have a lot to offer still.
