- I went to West Bromwich Hateley Heath to see how the estate has changed. John Menzies is no more but at least it still has its outside washing machines!!

Hi Phil.I commented on your other video of Hateley Heath about Menzies school.That was where my friend went to school,but it was West Bromwich Grammar school.Is there any way you could walk up Denbigh Drive and onto the canal.If I remember rightly,Firkins was by the canal.I now live on the Isle of Wight and West Brom could be on another planetIt seems so very run down now.I was glad I knew it in it's heyday
Best wishes
Cal
Many thanks for the suggestion I have added it to the list. I will attempt to get around there very soon
Gosh if this is a “rough area” for west brom - you need to go to London, Bristol, Liverpool, Leicester, Bradford.
This is fine.
There are always worse places, but the crime rates are high here for such a small estate
I’m not familiar with this area but it looks very sedate. Omg😮 a roadside laundrette I’ve never seen anything like this before. All in all I don’t think this area looks too bad
Yeah I grew up around here in 70s/80s . Lived in Marsh Lane, I went to Ryder's green infants ,charlemont junior school then Menzies high school. There was a little playing fields directly opposite Marsh Lane where ALL us kids would play sports, ANY sports after school, school holidays etc, including Stone cross, Dartmouth park... We all knew and mixed with each other... Joyful childhood, absolutely fantastic growing up around here back in the day... With social media, mobile phones and 'safeguarding' nowadays it's completely opposite to 'back in the day'.
Great memories - after seeing Menzies I was shocked to see what had happened to it. I even remember those interconnecting bridges!! And changing the name to Phoenix Collegiate just seems like a joke.
@@awalkwithphil indeed. times & circumstances just changed for the worst I believe.
I went to Menzies seen most of your videos of West Brom, I left there 11 years ago best thing I ever done hate the place regardless of how they renovate it’s still a dump no one has any respect for where they live
Thanks for your comment and support. Sadly there is no such thing as civic pride anymore, West Brom is becoming souless
Used to go to coach and horses in the 80s for the rock discos, like I say thinks haven't changed for the better, like hill top high school got knocked down now crap housing, funny now we need schools now,
Most people now feel unhappy with how West Brom is going
@@awalkwithphil sorry but if you look at the people who shop there you can understand why, have a friend who is in his 70s, he goes early to avoid these people, and the old shops such as butchers and veg shops have gone, merry hill is going the same way, no proper shops anymore
@@kingfatbobby With pubs closing down all over the place in Sandwell is good to that the coach is still trading.
