Just came across this fantastic piece and I remember Wesley Perrins well , he some times gave talks at our school and god could he talk 😄 he didn't talk the same Black Country as us but more of a posh Black Country because he was "educated" , but fun to listen to ,,, great memories , thanks
Love it - my dad's family lived in Hurst Hill (some of the earliest Council Housing), and yes my grandad used to keep pigeons. Many in the family were nailers - They all supported each other through 'thick and thin'. Happy days visiting them in the 1970s. Many a student or government representative ....would benefit from gaining a better understanding of black country grit, humour, and community cohesion 😊
The black country, lovely, clever people, hard working and made the very best to be exported the world over. Renowned for sharp edge tools among many, many other things. Lovely video thanks for showing to us.😀
Excellent! Love the history and accent of the black country, thank you
