Salisbury - City of the Plain

 

Salisbury - City of the Plain

A short video wandering around the city of Salisbury in Wiltshire.

Salisbury is a cathedral city in Wiltshire, England with a population of 41,820. The city is approximately 20 miles (30 kilometres) from Southampton and 30 miles (50 kilometres) from Bath. Salisbury is in the southeast of Wiltshire, near the edge of Salisbury Plain. An ancient cathedral was north of the present city at Old Sarum. A new cathedral was built near the meeting of the rivers and a settlement grew up around it, which received a city charter in 1227 as New Sarum.

To hear more about the history of Old Sarum and how a cathedral was shifted down the hill, I recommend this video by Tom Scott:

Tewkesbury: Land of the Abbey and the Flood

 

Tewkesbury - Land of the Abbey and the Flood

Tewkesbury is a market town and civil parish in the north of Gloucestershire, England. The town grew following the construction of Tewkesbury Abbey in the twelfth century and played a significant role in the Wars of the Roses. It stands at the confluence of the River Severn and the River Avon.

This is an updated / edited version of a video I made last year. I didn't like the voiceover so I removed most of it and also trimmed the edits while I was at it. 

Tut n Shive, Cheltenham

 

2 Rotunda Terrace, GL50. The Tut 'n' Shive in the 1990s, later Novo Club, Soho Bar, and a restaurant (Come a Casa) until 2023. Now an art gallery. 

The only 'Tut n Shive' left seems to be one in Doncaster (formerly the Spread Eagle). The name was also applied to the former Fountain in Vauxhall Bridge Road, London SW1, now demolished.
