Its great to see Handsworth, I remember record shops, nite clubs even 104 on Heathfield Road memories by the score. I live in London for many years I come back Birmingham to see my family and friends. Never forget where I come from Peace.
these are absolutely beautiful victorian neighbourhoods untouched by modern architecture any city anywhere in the world would die for, they are pleasant, green, quiet, graceful, a triumph of urban planning. THX
@@citiesthroughmyeyes I am living in North Eastern Brazil now. My family left the Handsworth area in 1973, when I reached secondary school age , moved out to Tamworth side of Birmingham, it was great to see how not that much had changed in over 50 years.

Thank you for watching this video Lorea. And since Handsworth is your hometown you might be interested in watching a video that I made of Handsworth showing how it looks before (Victorian/Edwardian time, 60s, etc.) & how it looks now ruclips.net/video/-iAwcZyd-gY/видео.html
Birmingham has a lot of racism and segregation go to areas and see how segregated and backwards people are hardly any English in handsworth that area most of the English live in segregated outer parts of Birmingham and inner parts are run down and neglected Birmingham city council are very racist and bias and in denial of it.
Sarah Sade Sarah femi or who ever you are we get it you don’t like Birmingham it’s “segregated” because wether you like it or not people feel safer and prefer there own kind, in group preference, it’s not racism , I’ve lived all over Brum it’s not as racist as you make out so stop spamming every video
@@jimconnolly4106 Birmingham is very segregated and racist people don't integrate and many older generation have a very racist attitude towards anyone who is not the same as them,have you see how Segregated areas are and the levels of poverty and inequality in Birmingham and West Midlands hence why people are racist miserable and angry ,you live in your own Bubble and don't even know half of the issues in Birmingham and West Midlands which is a dumping ground .

Another wonderful video Joseline. I think I've said it before but you need some kind of award for services to the great City of Birmingham.
