    Birmingham seemed to have a lot more character, back in the 1960's. The architecture was certainly more interesting.

    Meant to reply to this earlier, I live in Dublin, although born in Birmingham me and my father cycled from Dublin to Birmingham mid 1960's, had a lot of family there and used to spend summer there every year when I was in school. My mother was from Colonial Road in Bordesley Green, my dad emigrated from Dublin to Birmingham during 2nd World War and met my mother there.. Always liked that city, and, must be the only person I know in Dublin who still follows Birmingham City in the football. Used to spend summer in Edgbaston with a cousin who lived in Yardley Wood.

    David a big thank you brought back lots of memories especially Evans and Kitchen in The Horsefair, Birmingham where I was born and lived above in a 3 storey house with my mom and Dad and Nan. I used to sit in the front window and watched them knock down the church and build the underpass. Very rare image indeed. Thank you🍺

    That’s amazing footage. I wished my Grandparents had the money to have a camera so I could have seen a younger version of them, my parents, Aunties and Uncles. Sadly they were a rarity back then and you had to have a fair bit of money to have a video camera.

    The ship named 'Baharistan' seen at 7:52 was renamed 'Selvistan' in 1958 and broken up in 1960. That particular part of the video must be from the 1950's. I was born in Marston Green in 1956 and spent my formative years in Castle Bromwich. Left school in 1973 and my first job was as a trainee Quantity Surveyor working at Wilfrid Hiles & Sons in their office on 5th floor of the Rotunda building in the city centre. Wish I had had the foresight then to take more photos and videos of every day life.

    Birmingham love is unique & relaxing, its biggest problem was been far closer to London than Manchester so suffered brain drain but fortunately enough people with sense remained to keep it representing the blood flow from the heart of this kingdom keeping it united, every city got its personality but Birmingham keeps em all connected so dont have a pop at it 😉

    • @numberstation

      Not strange at all really, most likely shot on 8mm film that was available with or without audio which was cheaper so many people went with that option. I’m always really grateful when people upload their old films like this, especially when it shows family members. It’s a very personal, private thing to share.
