A walk to Oldbury - exploring the black country

I walk to Oldbury in the black country via the titford canal to look back at old photos and old industry that was nearby and along the canal section , ham baker , Albright and Wilson and much more it's interesting to see how much industry was along here and how the canal has changed today .

I live in Langley. Moved here thirty years ago. The smell of the brewing of the barley was stong but I liked it and the building was so well maintained. There was a bat roost in it and notifications would go up on the strrey lampposts to inform you of and works tbat neededdoing and that the bats would be left undisturbed during the maintenance. So sad tosee how our area has become dilapidated in the years Ive been here. Great video.

Great video. The old building along the canal in Langley was the band building in the 80s/90s. Not sure if that was it's traditional usage but a lot of times when I was a kid you could hear the Langley Band practicing their music from the park behind it.

I can't help but think that pulling down good old buildings and replacing them with the modern form of housing is a great mistake because the modern way of building is very inferior to some of these wonderful old red brick buildings.

[@drewsoutdooradventures01]
