I used to swim in those Baths most Wednesdays and Fridays, with the school, in the late 60's. At least then the buses were in the proper livery of dark blue and cream!
Another brilliant video. Congratulations Joseline. The dance sequence was an unexpected highlight for me. Also , I enjoyed the history of Moseley Art School as my late father , Gordon , attended . Gordon was well known in the Bull Ring Indoor Market as one of the proprietors of City Butchers Limited.
Thank you so much for watching the video. For the dance part I was thinking they were probably dancing the Black Bottom Dance, Charleston, etc. at the Moseley & Balsall Heath Institute in the 20s. So I included it. Your father must have been a very talented student because I heard that school was only accepting the best.
Highgate park , very nice place but oh , that hostel , not so good , Rowton house , my friend Gerry had to go there , I hope life worked out for him , very interesting video 🥰🥰🥰
I think Rowton House is one step above the workhouse. I hope your friend Gerry is doing good for himself too 🙂 And thanks for watching the video. Always a pleasure to read your comments 😉

This is an excellent look at the past. Especially liked the churches.
