- Little Burton estate in the black country town of Tipton is exactly what you would expect when paying a visit there with it's mix of old style houses and flats to former buildings of importance it's still one of those places that will always give you that feeling of a community that would go that extra mile to help
When you look back into Tipton's industry you will find there was plenty of it with foundarys bellowing out smoke to an extent that you really couldn't see your hand in front of your face to factory's that produced some of the best products in the world such as steel fire grates just to name a few the town was known to have more work places than houses at one point but what ever Tipton looked like in those days it really led the way in hard working folks here we take a look at some of those former places of hard grind and toil there was so many that can always say that Tipton played it's part in the industrial revolution

Surprised no mention of Hale and Hale foundry Upper Church Lane area. opposite the police station
@@johndutfield7382 I will be covering hale and hale in a future video along with other parts of industry hale and hale mainly came under Dudley port Tipton so saving that for a video of that area 👍
The smoke from Triplex was very bad on occasions, had weight to it and a nasty smell that bad you could taste it. Made outdoor PE lessons at the Alex unbearable sometimes as you couldnt breath or see the ball due to the smoke.
@@dudleyblokerave that's very true I remember that at Alex and just seeing the smoke all day and then thinking how do they get away with it thanks for watching 👍
I went to Locarno school and remember the smell from the Triplex. Dam, dread to think what it did to our lungs!!
@@dwarfshortage244 it was really bad it marked a lot of my window frames from what they put smoke fumes
@@dwarfshortage244 The normal smoke was pretty bad when the wind was wrong but every 3-4 months they would do something that created the dark green/brown smoke that always sunk to the ground and hung about, the smell was awful, like a mix of sulphur and burning fat. Felt like someone was squeezing your lungs from the inside and used to burn your eyes.
Can also remember the brook behind the Alex used to have many vivid colours some days, blue, black, pink and many shades of bright green.
Might go and jump the brook for old times sake!
I went to Alex as did all my brothers, had a teacher at park Lane for English that taught my mom, teachers used stay at places for longer, sorry but Tipton is not the same now with all the new houses, when did everyone leave Alex, I left 1981 so I old now, but it was a good time when I was there, did any of you go to great bridge school
@@Wench64 I went to Alex and my brother did as well I agree at school it was very good times Tipton is very different now I don't really see any of my old mates maybe they have moved on 👍
My brother was 3rd generation who worked at horseley piggott, my brother in law also worked there and they said they would go back in a heartbeat, it was a great place to work for, rolls Royce bought them then closed, even though they still had a full order book, I think they just wanted the land to sell, now it's crap houses we need more industry o our doorstep
Maybe one day it will come full circle and industry will return I agree with going back to a work place jobs that I've had I wish I could go back
Chap that was in my class his family ran the cottage spring, his name was Andrew Bird,
@@Wench64 that's very true there was Rita bird also 👍
Really enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Hey Carl would you be able to do a video of Dudley Port/Horsley Heath?
@@ElaineMorgan-r9e I will definitely be looking to do that at some point thank you for watching and commenting glad you enjoyed it 👍
You had hale&hale, jeavons the glass works, horseley piggott, so sad what we have lost😢
@@Wench64 it is very sad how work places have gone so much industry all sadly disappeared I will cover more of them in the next Tipton Past and Present video 👍
Very good Carl brings back memories nice to see them old places 👍
@@michaelcleaver402 thank you glad to bring back memories 👍
Interesting video. Given the number of times im out with the dog and how close you have come to my house im surpised i havnt cameod in one of your vids, lol. I personally am happy to see any old unused building get pulled down and houses go up. I would rather see any number of unused factories/pubs go than one single acre of green belt land. Brown land is best land i reckon.
@@jamesmaybrick2001 thank you very much it's a very small world looking back houses my look a bit better than a Foundary 👍
