High Street Gloucester Drive Through | Burnt Houses & High Crime

In this video, we’re taking a drive down High Street, Tredworth in Gloucester, which sits just outside of the city center and is a bit of a hot spot for anti-social behaviour and crime.

It’s an interesting, multi-cultural area, you’ll see a mix of flats, houses, and businesses, as well as some random sights.

Looking at the crime stats, last month there were 867 crimes reported in and around High St, so that makes it one of the most crime-ridden areas in Gloucester, and possibly the country.

Back in the late 50s, early 60s my stepfather managed the Baxters Butchers shop in High St and I went out on the delivery van on Saturday (I was still at school). It was a nice quiet area, poor but tidy.
To show how safe it was If I worked in the shop in the school holidays one of my tasks would be to take the days takings to the bank in central Gloucester on the shop delivery bike. Never a problem.

I was born and raised in Ryecroft St. and the bottom end of the High St. It was a nice growing up in the 70s and 80’s as I used it most days. I still go down it on occasion, but mostly try to avoid it due to its decline over the years.

If you think the High Street is bad, you should have carried a bit further on and had a look at Barton Street 😅

I worked at the chip shop which is now Sams' Pizza and Kebab around 30 years ago. At that time there was a public toilet across the road but that is now houses.

That burned out house had been left like that for a pretty long time with a notice of abandonment so I definitely doubt the insurance possibility

I walked down it with my mum a few weeks ago as there was a cheap house for sale, it reminded me a lot of east Bristol 15 years ago lol ie Stapleton road area, not the nicest

Lived there as a kid 70’s . Wouldn’t even consider walking down there now. Horrendous

I was born there and lived there until I was 8, then luckily my parents decided to move up to London. I still got family who live there but it's a shit hole of a place.

It must be so horrible for the people that are born living there and maybe stuck through growing up

I'm from Gloucester, that's tredworth.
Used to have Sammy's kebab shop at the end. Best kebab I've ever had. 30 years ago

Where the car mounted the kerb, one time I recall a lady in a car coming one way from the Ryecroft Street end and a car full of African Americans coming the other way into a pinch point. The lady was there first but the car full of big men decided they weren't going to give way. Following a tense standoff the car with the gentlemen of colour drove forward, smashed into the lady's car head on, reversed and mounted the pavement outside Seymours and drove on it's way. Poor woman. Typical for the area. I grew up up the road from High Street :(

I’m from Essex but was on a job in Gloucester back in the early 90’s and saw a big punch up at the end of High St where you first turned in. I was in a corner shop, a iron mongers DIY shop that was run by a nice Muslim family. Three cars stopped outside the shop who was havin a bit of bother, two cars full of blacks and a car with two white lads. I saw the biggest punch I’ve ever seen. One of the white lads was American and he was fighting two at a time and winning, the other white lad was trying to stop more of that blacks from jumping in. In the end the Muslim brothers from the shop ran out to make sure it was a fair fight, the American laid into the two he was fighting and beat both. He knocked the one spark out and other black kid gave in so about 5 blacks pulled the American off but they didn’t fight him. Don’t know if that was out of respect, or if they didn’t want to be next. I was in Gloucester for a month and seen a few punch ups but that was the most amazing thing I ever seen. Not surprised that area is run down, it wasn’t very safe back then.

Three years in a bedsit on Regent St just opposite the alleyway that echoed. 1987 - 1989 Developed an addiction for dripping cake.

I was doing a driving lesson last month, saw the OneStop and immediately knew where I was, thought about the burglaries

I have watched various videos from a few channels but none of them cover the north west. Come to Lancashire and Merseyside plenty of content here :)
