Sometimes it's not until you move out of this city and live somewhere else that afterwards you realise how brilliant Birmingham is and how much you miss it. I only moved down the road to Coventry and I still come back to Birmingham a couple of times a week but compared to Coventry it's paradise!
My home, Birmingham is amazing and is constantly changing itself, there are some new building been built/changes etc since this video. I now live in edinburgh, it's beautiful and historic but it never changes, but that's exciting when I do go back to visit because there is always something new!
My kids love shopping is a day out for them when school holiday and I close my shop on Tuesday is my kinds day out we always end up a roast chicken to take home for our dinner when their daddy back from work we love it thanks
From a different point of view I don't live in Birmingham but visited many times, very nice city with some areas to avoid but overall a very friendly modern city
@deeboy987 Where did you live in the USA. I may have to move to Birmingham in the Fall and I live in Toronto. Just wanted to see if there is a big difference ...
This video would be brilliant if you put some tags on in places to say label what the buildings are called or our nicknames for places such as pigeon park :)
I'm a true Brummie but moved away 12 years ago to Evesham, I've been back a few times and quite honestly it's not changed for the better, hardly recognised the place, think it's sad we're losing all our heritage and what made Brum great ...
Sure - the city does have some pretty bad neighborhoods, but it would be unfair not to mention there are plenty of very good areas as well - most of Edgbaston, Harborne, Bournville, Moseley's nice, Handsworth Wood is okay, and Sutton. Solihull is fairly upmarket as well. There's more to the place than the scruffy inner-city areas outside of town.
Those areas you mention are white and segregated areas Brummie's are not integrated and don't live in inner Birmingham because they don't like other races.
I received a job offer in Birmingham, I'm American....do people actually live in the city center. Is there art and cafes around? Where is a good place for a young single professional to stay?
beautiful city. i would love to live in england. you guys don't know how lucky you are.i live in america and it is nice but, sometimes i want to be in another country. i need some change of senery.
Was great to see this film thanks for making it :-) I have some street photography videos from Birmingham on my channel that I uploaded over the last 2 yrs that you may like to watch :-) thanks again.
Huge change since I left in 1975 - for the better. Impressive new buildings. However, I still think the Midland Institute and Council House are examples of Victorian architecture at their best. Brum also has the second best accent in the country only beaten by Black Country. What is the city's raison d'etre now that most of the industry has disappeared?
Wasn't the Brum accent voted the country's least liked accent? I can't speak for the entire UK but I have never met anyone that liked the accents in the midlands.
Birmingham has changed for I do remember as a child I saw a lot of weddings in the centre of Birmingham I saw a lot of funerals and a lot more christenings as a young child we spend a lot of time on the weekend shopping during the lights 60s 70s has Birmingham began to change a words in Birmingham when I was 17 at Littlewoods worked in the a bar what's the what's the fashions change just like the music drinking bars with famous people in the future like Duran Duran and of course UB40 there is lots of bands around at the Underground guy community I see a New Beginning a new way of thinking in with the new and out with the old fashion became a big thing auntie be seen in the right places I worked in Birmingham accident and emergency hospital before it closed down Those Were The Days New Kids on the Block worth performing in Birmingham and visited the hospital I also remember Princess Diana doing the same thing Birmingham has got some unknown history for the second biggest city in the country up the Brummies
Noor Akhtar embraced Islam? I guess you knew completely nothing about christianity. And if U didnt, why didnt u enquire before joining an even worse religion? I am an atheist but will say this..Judeo-Christianity sucks and is pretty backwards. Islam is worse.
To Malwina, what you are saying is utter nonsense. Birmingham will sooner be Polish, than Islamic. I was put in Birmingham for work some three or four years ago. I was put into an area called Handsworth. To say the least, it wasn't the cleanest or "safest" place to live, put I'm really not a fussy person. I noticed after living there for about a week, that this was an area of "minorities". Lot's of Islamic and Sikh's from the Middle East, Caribbean's and Poles, especially lots of Poles. In fact, there was probably a Polish shop every five minutes passing through the area. There were very few "white British" people living there. I was glad, actually. Despite being white, I actually don't relate or mix with many white people, due to the fact that most I meet here are racist bigots. Not nationalists, just racists. I was raised by racist, bigot, bitter white Russian parents. I hate them. Nasty people. I was taught not to like anyone whom isn't white. Completely backfired, though. I'd never even seen a person of an ethnic minority in real life until I came to England aged 13. All I'd been taught went out of the window, I didn't see them as bad (what my parents taught me), I just saw them as human - what they are. As I grew up, I realised, all of what my parents taught me was wrong. I got a black girlfriend, aged 20 (she's now my wife!), to say the least my parents were displeased. Disgusted, ashamed. They told me never to come back to them unless I "got rid of the monkey", horrible, right? So, guess what? I didn't go back to them. My girlfriend was at university working long shifts, she was educated and well-spoken, well-mannered, but still my parents probably would have rather I go out with a (preferably Russian), white crack head instead of an educated black girl. Appalling. Anyhow, I lived on a road, a long road. The next door neighbour to my right were a Polish family, and the ones on my left were a Polish family, too. No word of a lie. In fact, I'd say 75% of this road were Polish immigrants. About 15% Pakistani Muslims and about 5% Caribbean (Jamaican) immigrants. 4.7% were Black British, and the other 0.3% were me and my girlfriend my girlfriend, Black British and me; a Russian-born Brit, I've been living here since I was thirteen, I am now 36. So, majority where Polish. They were very nice people, actually. Very nice people. All working people, too. Much to my surprise, a lot less "racist" than I would of thought, though, that could have just been an act. They incorporated well with all the religions and races on the road, I'd often see them chatting with them. They spoke to me and my girlfriend, too. One of them was even going out with a black lady. So in the sense of being more cultural and accepting, and not so closed-minded, Malwina, maybe the Poles living in England are in fact better than those that live in Poland. Don't forget, in England, Polish people are as much of a minority as Isalmic people to the British people. The BNP and British nationalists see Poles as they see any other religion or race that doesn't come from Britain; immigrants that need to go back home - regardless of race. BNP would rather have a black British in Britain than Polish, or Romanian, or me - Russian. Also, no EU state will be "immune" from this "multicultural nightmare". Maybe if white slave owners didn't take black people against their will from Africa and send them on boats to all corners of Europe, maybe they wouldn't be here (but thank God they are!). Lots of Islamic people flock from their countries because it is not safe, or because they need work (the same reason Polish people come here, too), so what? Anyhow, my point is, you're pretty pathetic. Xenophobic. The worst type of phobia to have xenophobia. Get your head out of your backside and stop thinking you are superior to any other race. When you scrape a blade across your skin will it bleed red blood? Yes it will. If you run out into a busy motorway and a car hits you at 80mph, will you die? If you held a loaded gun to your head directly and pulled the trigger on yourself, would you blow your brains out? Yes you will. Just like anybody else, from any religion or race would. White people aren't superior to any other race at all. Fair skin and soft hair makes you superior, how? White people are criminals, just like any other race, white people fail school, just like any other race or religion. White people can make the same mistakes as anybody else REGARDLESS of religion or race. The problem of racists, xenophobics, homophobics etc. is not the people they have unexplained hatred for, but the problem lies within. It's sad, it's truly sad. I have nothing but pity for white supremacists in this day and age that are still trying to prove something. This maybe a waste of time, because you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Racists are racists, the most ignorant type of person there is. Stuck in their ways. You need to take a good look at yourself and your white skin and realise; you are not that special at all. We all live and we all die. That's it. Your life is way too short to spend hating people who aren't the same as you. Get over it, man.
Seriously, i’m definitely appreciate your every word and every message about the human issues. What all your point you told me is just want to bring everything in peace without hatred, verbally abuse and the human race as well but i dare to say their mind are absolutely shut when i see those ignorant persons like that but i have to admit, i’m just like an ordinary man in hong kong to fight for a better life. I didn’t even see loads of people are racing against them but they do race against the philips or indonesians because i only know the facts of the global vision.
D. Hull god bless you. I went to Russia last year and to call them a primitive, unevolved people would be an understatement. Glad you broke free from the bullshit.
In the late 1950s my parents moved to England from Jamaica. In 1964 we were living in Birmingham. Everyone lived together and got along well. We were all neighbors - we all worshiped at the Holy Trinity church, Birchfield, where my brothers and I were baptized. My friends and I went to the same schools - I never felt any different, we were all British. I'm now living in America and I recently, went home to visit my aging family in Birmingham, and yes, it did change a great deal. We have to find our way back to living together, peacefully and respectably.
Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf these days :)
+GBacon88 hi bacon. ... splendid attempt at reclaiming the intellectual high ground ....you used a few words and pointed out a few typo errors or genuine mistakes. . Unfortunately in this instance you fail by simply regurgitating staple right wing sound bites and clichés. Anyone who doesn't follow the knee jerk, mob mentality is just a "lefty liberal do gooder". why don't you try thinking for yourself and coming up with some original, "home made" thoughts rather than simply throwing in the same tired old drivel you read in the sun this morning?
Steve Conlon LOOOL you made me lol 😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I grew up in London but lived in brum since 2010, came for uni & ended up staying, I moved to Dubai in January, but I still miss and love brum, matter of fact I miss the uk so much 😔
Enoch Powell would be so ashamed of this city now & I would agree aswell because I live here and it's like a warzone sometimes, I would really really love to leave for someplace nice.
Birmingham is soooo beautiful. You never ever get tired of Birmingham. Oh and by the way people are putting really racist stuff on here. I'm black but I'm a brummie and I'm proud. And that basketball dude is weird also I heard he's homeless.
@zsmonostori I'd personally say Birmingham. Reading articles about it and the police are more interested and taking greater action in Birmingham these days. Been voted one of the safest cities to live in.
Lapsiquis arcaica That is awesome to know. I was watching a video on the ghetto of Baltimore, MD, USA & ended up here thinking I was going to a Birmingham, Alabama, USA ghetto video. Anyway, someone says Handsworth/Ladypool/Sparkbrook in Birmingham, UK is ghetto like. I guess every country has places that are not so good, now. In those musicians time, it must have been a good place.
mermaidcandy those are just part of birmingham. .. all cities have poorer bits, brum is no different though it is officially the SAFEST of all major uk cities in terms of violent crime etc so it's not too bad really. It was the same years ago. ... Lots of great areas though today ... North Birmingham is industrial and has a mic of good and bad areas.... south side is pretty cool with places like edgbaston moseley Selly oak Bournville harbourne Solihull Shirley and Olton being gorveoud leafy districts
Birmingham is not full of Pakistanis, it's actually all equalled out. There are whites, blacks, Asians all sorts of backgrounds. It's very safe place to live. The last time I heard someone get killed was a long time ago. So it's a syco-free city. Also there is good jobs and has one if the best schools in the UK.
It's very interesting and mysterious most of the UK majority White, seems to like jet off to places likes of Caribbean, Africa, India etc, but can't stand when they are here! how strange.
i can tell u all why it`s so peaceful because no one give`s a fuck about eney one els there just carrying on with there thing u no the deal other people hold u bk i do the same and u can get far
This is back when Chamberlain square had character before they tore down the Central library. Now it's just a crappy area with an awful building. Corporation St has lost its character too with all those tramlines.
Sometimes it's not until you move out of this city and live somewhere else that afterwards you realise how brilliant Birmingham is and how much you miss it. I only moved down the road to Coventry and I still come back to Birmingham a couple of times a week but compared to Coventry it's paradise!
Both Coventry and Birmingham are rough dump shitholes.
I had to pass the law courts to get to my job in Aston, in 75/9. Took two buses, one into town and then into Aston.
I'am a brazilian, loved birminghan, beautiful city
The old library now gone lived in Birmingham during the 90s was there in August sure has changed 👍
My home, Birmingham is amazing and is constantly changing itself, there are some new building been built/changes etc since this video. I now live in edinburgh, it's beautiful and historic but it never changes, but that's exciting when I do go back to visit because there is always something new!

Thanks mate just watched the video, brings back memories of 10 years ago. Even when we were going through recession, the city still had a character.
It also has gang violence drug pushers muggings rape. Need I go on
Wonderful footage i really enjoyed it being a true brummie myself!
I wonder why Brits pull down this city so? It looks awesome!
To Modernise our City.
Thank you for posting Patrick Jakubowski
From a different point of view I don't live in Birmingham but visited many times, very nice city with some areas to avoid but overall a very friendly modern city
Looks like a great city.
BEST CLIP EVEEERRRR!! I miss Brum sooooo much! 😔 I now live in Dubai..
Beautiful
Lol sorry I see you showed the rest of the city centre. The new library is awesome ^^ even though it's not finished until next year..
Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

Exactly my thoughts.
I used to live there 27 years ago and would love to have those indications.

totally agree
To be honest, the best way to describe Birmingham is that it's a building site
@@pauldavis5093 Really...so sad
Sorry to disagree, Birmingham now is a modern thriving City.
@@peterwilliamallen1063 Totally disagree, not how it was 40 years ago...
Plenty of apartments in and just outside the city centre.The Jewellery Quarter is good.Just off Broad Street as well.
This is so beautiful!

Shame there isnt footage of the old pallasades
Always see that man with the basketball at 5:01 walkin round pallasades with basketball or a guitar loool
beautiful city centre, shame about the inner city and surrounding areas though.
Am. Moving to Birmingham next month from. Sheffield 😜😜
Wow Birmingham looks so clean compared to today that's for sure
It still looks dull / dirty in this video
Just go outside the city centre and you'll see how much of a scrapyard it is
All of Birmingham is a run down dumps most areas of city centre riddled with rubbish and crime it's a segregated shithole.
Was this filmed just 14 years ago?
Very good 👌 amazing thanks for posting 🎁👍🔔🙏
Moving there next year
I received a job offer in Birmingham, I'm American....do people actually live in the city center. Is there art and cafes around? Where is a good place for a young single professional to stay?
Local hotels in birmingham city centre are reasonably priced
It's a friendly busy lots to see city centre with loads of places to go out and dine
Nancy G you can stay at mines ? If you want? Only have one bed though

yes, buried underneath the ground at snow Hill not much of European vision, not many known it's there. at least Wolverhampton's has.

mermaidcandy those are just part of birmingham. .. all cities have poorer bits, brum is no different though it is officially the SAFEST of all major uk cities in terms of violent crime etc so it's not too bad really. It was the same years ago. ... Lots of great areas though today ... North Birmingham is industrial and has a mic of good and bad areas.... south side is pretty cool with places like edgbaston moseley Selly oak Bournville harbourne Solihull Shirley and Olton being gorveoud leafy districts
Never heard about them.

Birmingham is not full of Pakistanis, it's actually all equalled out. There are whites, blacks, Asians all sorts of backgrounds. It's very safe place to live. The last time I heard someone get killed was a long time ago. So it's a syco-free city. Also there is good jobs and has one if the best schools in the UK.
Racially segregated city Birmingham not a nice place.

Not a face lift, a tear down. Get rid of all the scummy areas and it might actually become somewhere you'd want to go.

Try the black country.
This is back when Chamberlain square had character before they tore down the Central library. Now it's just a crappy area with an awful building. Corporation St has lost its character too with all those tramlines.
In the 2011 Census 21.8% of the Birmingham population identified themselves as Muslim.
20% of the world identify as Muslim..... What's your point, then?
