Hi mate love your videos. I use to hang out on that railway bridge, to the left of that bridge is an old arm next to the football pitch and the bridge. I also used to work at the cement plant next to the bridge, keep up the good work

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.
