    The suspense nearly killed me. It looks like Barnsley. I think the clue is on the sign that says "Barnsley Markets". If I hadn't seen that I'd have gone for Milton Keynes.

    Great video that.

    They definitely took a massive gamble with the money spent on the glass works and related works but I don't think anybody could say it's not been worth it.

    Oh they do on social media :) Personally think it looks amazing and as the guy said it's a blue print for other areas. Towns can't rely on shopping anymore - people have moved away from that

    Ok let me rephrase. I don’t think any right minded person could say it’s not been worth it!

    My favourite is "wonder how many brown envelopes...!" It used to be "potholes", before i realised that was just the default nationwide moan

    The mill chimney he talks about is actually the chimney of the old swimming baths on Race St.

    Brilliant video that. Really knowledgable, respectful bloke. Makes a lovely change from the usual hatchet jobs that just interview smack heads. Excellent way to finish the video too - "You did a job, you didn't **** it"

    Appreciation from a stranger to the town of what a lot of locals can't see, or think is a white elephant.

    The old guy didn't seem to recollect glass making in barnsley during his time on earth.
    (Unless I misunderstood)
    Had he not heard of Redfearns national glass (still.producing under another name) or Beatson clarkes. Which closed in the 2000s.
