Great upload many thanks I enjoyed this very much, a hark back to better days all the best to you from Norman in Scotland 🏴 used to live next to east park Wolverhampton
To see how Wolverhampton has descended in the last 40years into a sorry mess of its former self (as have hundreds of other towns and cities throughout the UK) it’s scary to wonder what life will be like in another 40years from now! It’s highly doubtful I’ll still be around to witness the decay by then - good luck to the future generations that will!
They relocated the market to build the civic centre, the replacement had hand washing facilities, and brick stalls plus an indoor market, all now demolished and relocated again. It's not even worth visiting. It's a shadow of the former glory it once was. It's assumed everyone has a car. There's only Iceland and Mark's and Spencers left to do a food shop. I don't agree with Tesco express and their extortionate prices. All the other supermarkets are outside the ring road. It's a dump.
How bad mate? I was born there in 1979..lived just outside but left in 87. I have great memories but will confess I ain't been to the centre since a kid. I can only imagine its changed so much, culturally I assume

I used to catch that 556 from the northway sedgley to Wolverhampton.
People dressed so much more stylishly then. I guess back then they had decent shops. Most have now gone.
Wow, "Posada" at 0"12 , my home from 1957-1972!!😄
Wished there were pictures of the rollerdrome, had some great times there , hard to remember how white it was then too.
I was at the Rollerdrome when news of Kennedy,s death came through.
