Your eyes were reflecting the memories at one point in the video. That hurt my heart. Thank God you made that effort to have a different life.

Brilliant mate u r a star, i was born and bred two minutes from there, used to go up the Quay meadow at the back of the castle, smoking weed and tripping off our boxes at the age of 13/14, and when we started going to night clubs and we copped off,we would ask them if they wanted to come to the quay meadow disco, they knew what was gonna happen, a roll about on the priory hill 😆😆😆, excellent job Billy 👌💯 love it my town were i was born and bred, and I had a nickname back then I was called PIGSY ha ha , I remember someone escaping from there, he was the first person to escape in something like 200 years, did he break his arm or leg, Lancaster castle has the thickest walls in England, and when it closed they had a rave in the jail, how ironic is that absolute madness, great vid though Billy 👌💯 thanks mate you're a top man love what you doing Billy,❤️🤍💙.

billy go to Belfast go to nationalism areas and loyalist areas mate ul get good views and ul enjoy that.

I lived in Lancaster for 8 years. Genuinely really nice city to live in (and as you say, there are some rougher areas, but even those aren't that bad really). Just the right size to be friendly, but also have plenty to do and it's well connected. Saying that, I never did do a proper guided tour around the castle, although I did my jury service there so I did see some of the bits that tours might not get to see.

You’ve come a long way Billy..total respect for you👌

Dr Ruxton lived in Lancaster. Up in Moffat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 There’s a place called “Ruxtons dump” He chopped someone up, threw the parts over a bridge into what he thought was a fast flowing river, it was pitch black dark and it was a tiny stream. My wife’s dad and some family were from Moffat and she told me the story of it. I think it was in the 1960’s it happened. What a beautiful but macabre building at the same time. Cheers Billy.

Did you go back to your old pad Billy ? Memories, a good turning point for you though ❤x .

It looks like it could still function as a prison, why did they close it? That could be used for all these people they say are invading the country. I don't see many extra people about In the streets than there have been the past 25years.

Do you know anyone from Lancaster mate, i was commenting with you're Terry and he knew someone from Lancaster called punky, who got swilled and knocked out by the famous silverback, Danny gee, and that's why he was barred from Preston prison, would love to know if you do, my brother Martin Parkinson spent loads of time in the castle, small lad with a bad limp, thanks again Billy 👌💯.
