Very nostalgic! I lived in Erdington (Hillaries Rd) in the 50s & 60s, went to Slade Rd. infant/primary school then Handsworth Grammar School. Went there on the 11 outer Circle, occasionally came home on the Inner Circle, played in Brookvale Park, lived off High St Erdington for a while (Harrison Rd.) etc.etc. Left Brum in 1967,rarely go back except for the odd "Baggies" game and to see my sister in Acocks Green so whilst these images are a bit hazy, they , nonetheless bring back memories. Now in my 70s I thoroughly enjoy reinforcing those memories with these old snaps. Many Thanks for posting! - More Please!

You are seeing in this video Birmingham of the past not how Birmingham is now, the UK's second largest City all slums demolished even the Gaumont Cinema does not exist any more, in their placese the City Centre has been b rebuilt in places 3 times with what has emerged now a vibrant, cosmopolitan, multi cultral modern City with lots of tourist spots and the greenest City in Europe that is now on peoples bucket list to visit as tourists, all housing has been upgraded plus Birmingham has one of the largest parks in Europe, ""Sutton Park", so basically you are judging Birmingham on a video showing Birmingham of the past. Well we could say Austrailure is full of deadly spiders, self richiouse Dingoes that originate from ex UK Convicts sent out there to the Austrailian penal colony, but no it is a modern Country. Before making stupid comments do a bit of reserch first
Absolutely fantastic - born 1951 - and lived in the Hawthorn Road area until 1986. My decade was the 1970s and those photographs of Birmingham City Centre brought back so many happy memories. Thanks for putting this together - can’t write more I’ve got to go back and watch it all again😊.
I worked in Erdington from 1968 till 2003 and I enjoyed the pictures of old Birmingham. I was born in 1936 and lived in Quinton until I was married in 1965 so I would like to have seen more of the West side but hey ho perhaps another time. Nick G
Born in Brum 1941--family left for the westcountry when I was 13. Often revisited to see relations, now their number is dwindling. A very familiar scene at 4.02, of Kingstanding Circle. ODEON Cinema opposite ?. to the right, Sutton Coldfield. To the left , leads to Great Barr I think, and M6. Elderly Aunt and Uncle lived on Kingstanding Road. Some images never fade.
I believe the Bull Ring got its name from its history of bull-baiting. Around 1160, a charter granted the Lord of the Manor of Berm, permission to hold a weekly market at his moated manor where he levied tolls on the goods and produce sold. This was on the site which now the Bull Ring. First called the 'Corn Cheaping' in reference to the corn market, the Bull Ring referred to a green within the market. Kind regards Travel Walks TV
@@travelwalkstv The Bull ring started when a local land owner Peter De Bermingham obtained Market rights in 1154 from King Henry 2 and as well as a market it was used for bull Baiting in a ring, hence Bull Ring, but there was nothing called the Manor of Berm, Birmingham has always been called either Bermingeham or Birmingham through the ages, but never the Manor of Berm!!, it got it's name from the De Bermingham family I am speaking as a Brummie who has red the History of Birmingham.

This proves change isn't always better.
I agree. It looked alot better in them days. Thank you for watching.
Very enjoyable - I lived in Birmingham (Moseley and Kingstanding) 1950 - 1957 - but some of the south side of the city would have been good.
Love it, thank you for sharing ❤

I lived in Acocks Green for 25 years so would have liked a bit more of the south side. Philip Martin.
Thank you. Hope you liked the video
Great to see the old Brum. Just one negative comment, how come you showed St Andrews empty, but Villa Park full? 😂😂😂Disgruntled Blue nose here.
Brum looks spectacular in them days. Sorry about St Andrews being empty. Your comment made me smile. Thank you for watching.

Where did the name " Bull Ring " come from ?
I believe the Bull Ring got its name from its history of bull-baiting. Around 1160, a charter granted the Lord of the Manor of Berm, permission to hold a weekly market at his moated manor where he levied tolls on the goods and produce sold. This was on the site which now the Bull Ring.

Pointless. Not worth the effort.
Not a fan of Birmingham I take it.
If it's pointless why did you watch it. And if you didn't watch it how do you know it's pointless
@@travelwalkstv so---not a fan of life
One of my uncles worked at the Beaufort. I remember seeing Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.
Thank you for tuning in.
