Retford Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Nottinghamshire, and around 25 miles east of Sheffield, is the town of Retford, sometimes referred to as East Retford. Geographically Retford is situated on the River Idle in the Bassetlaw District, Nottinghamshire's northernmost district. King Henry I established the borough of East Retford in 1105, making it one of the oldest boroughs in England. A royal charter was granted by Henry III in 1246 for a market to be held each Thursday. This was extended in 1275 by Edward I to include Saturday as well. In 1528 much of Retford was destroyed by a fire. However the town went on to prosper during the 18th and 19th century. The Great North Road entered into the town in 1766. This allowed stagecoaches to pass through Retford all the way from London to Edinburgh. This was essentially the precursor to the modern day A1 which comes within a few miles of Retford. In 1777 the Chesterfield Canal was completed, allowing goods to be transported in and out of Retford. In 1849 the railway arrived in Retford. To this day it provides a direct transport link between London Kings Cross and Edinburgh on the East Coast Main Line. The church featured in the walk is St Swithun's Church. The first recorded reference of this church dates all the way back to 1258. However most of the church was rebuilt in the 1650s following a collapse of the tower in 1651. Outside the church we see the Sebastopol Cannon. This was captured in 1855 during the Battle of Sebastopol towards the end of the Crimean War and was given to the town in 1858. The cannon was later removed during the scrap metal drive of the Second World War, but was rescued and unveiled anew in 1950. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
