- Great Barr, Birmingham 1987.
Winter and a lot of snow !
Going from Thorncliffe road to Wideacre Drive via Southgate road, Birdbrook road, The Kingfisher pub, past St Mathews church, the shops, up Courtney road and on to Crestwood drive .
We had a severe winter that year, both my parents were there and their naughty sock eating dogs, enjoy.

Thank you for posting this video footage... it is very interesting. I was 16 in 1987, and it brings back some great memories.
Thank you for watching sir, yes fab memories...
I like this vid.. I live on dyas so good to see kingfisher birdbrook Rd and Courtenay Rd back then. I was only 8 months old when this was made but I lived by the scott arms then
I'm glad someone, has recognised the streets. I left Calshot Road in 1950. aged 9. I went to Beechwood Road school. The name changed after we went.
I was there ...it all started in a sunday night. January 11 1987....I was living in Kings Heath... as a student at University of Birmingham...snow lasted on the ground about a week..it just felt like Rochester NY!!
Wow, amazing memories
I've just been watching the ITV News here, ( see opposite ) of this 1987 snow storm, I honestly can't remember it, 1982---1963---1947--YES. BUT by 1987, I was living in North Somerset. so maybe we were lucky.
What part of north Somerset I'm down that way alot
Ah yes you got any taste of northern Ontario! So great to have brilliant memories.family is everything. Stay safe in this new surge,hitting us bad here,1000 daily,hospitals icu full.
Thank you, yes we are on lockdown here, stay safe
Awesome video
I remmber 1987 very well and i dont remmber any big freeze? think we had snow may be once or twice? live on the Tideswell Rd Beeches. But back then you get about 3 foot at a time :)
To be honest, if I hadn't filmed it I doubt if I would have remembered it, lol, I think I remember the milk floats all getting stuck, and my van being stuck was a regular event.
@@mark1966 Hi was this really in the middle of June or is the month wrong?
@@djanil9733 Yep the month is wrong, it was on the original clip for some reason, well spotted !
@@mark1966 ahh thought that would have been some seriously freak weather!! :)
@@djanil9733 lol? Too true
Dang I was 37 years old! Look at that Global Warming! Love the sound of that diesel! They have never caught on in America except me!
I was 26, single & both parents still with me x
Same in Canada, according to a cousin over there. I was really amazed. He explained --thats why US trucks have such monster engines. Diesl has same power but half the size.. The big Gas stations and oil companies didn't want to pay billions making the change over.
