Thank you for this. Born here in 1949, left in 1968. You take the the boy out of Erdington but not Erdington out of the boy. Great images and memories.

Memories come back in a flood! I lived in Erdington (Hillaries Road) for many years from early 1950s to mid 1960s, went to Slade Road School (later Handsworth Grammar) next to the Star Cinema and the Brookvale Pub. Erdington High Street played a big part in my teenage life, it had 2 cinemas, the Palace was one I can't remember the name of the other but do remember that I saw The Dambusters there. When I first went to the Carlton Club (later Mothers) over the furniture store opposite the church The Moody Blues and Carl Wayne and the Vikings were the regulars and anyone remember Pandora's on Orphanage Road? Hours were spent making a coffee last in the Griddle Inn and the Pop Inn and we bought our records (vinyl) from Redifusion at 6 ways and the Music Box. In my mind's eye it's so clear, Burtons Snooker Hall opposite The Acorn and Gardeners Milk Bar on the corner, the swimming baths, Woolworths the market opposite etc. etc.I even lived for a while in Harrison Road off the High Street, I loved it, but what a disappointment to see it now, all it's former charm gone - That's life I guess!

wow, this is where i live!! right near rookery park, aww i love Erdington.

Just thought I’d look it’s been a while since I’ve been there Awesome!

Closing down the pool is a crime against the people of the town. The local authority should be ashamed of themselves.

Thanks for bringing us to the past!

I live around the corner from station road, happy days then, now you can't risk driving through.

I will be visiting this area around Christmas time to visit a friend & Birmingham - looks like a nice place..any comments? Thanks, nice video.

Me Nan & Granddad lived in Eversley Dale opposite the The Green Man pub.

There was a fire at the Erdington Parish Church a while back,

The old images are disappearing too quickly to have a good look at them and take them in.

My Family used to have a shop next to Dods Wallpaper from 1976-79 on Marsh lane ... We used to go to the High Street and remember seeing an actor from crossroads going into woolworths , I used to go to Featherstone primary school ... Fond memories

Now its 2018 totally different

at 21 seconds that is me in my old silver cougar crossing over the lights at the crosskeys pub! how weird. I would love the original photo. Get in touch someone?

Always thought from a distance the painted man on the ladders of sign service always looked so realistic plus now the cross keys pub is closed at 0.10, the lad in the Lane pub is now closed and derelict at 0.32

the ‘now😊’ is becoming the then.

No picture of Mothers Club - Google it!

An ancient prophecy foretold of a place that was truly more bostin' than many other bostin' things. This place would be so epic, t'would spawn not one, but TWO Poundlands ! The Hanging gardens of Babylon and The Grand Canyon pale into insignificance in comparison! That place is ERDINGTON !!! 🤔 " Ees right yer know, it's really good. An' the number 11 guzz there" !!!

my GP dr rita bagchi lol

I like Erdington & the song coming from Tom Jones.

Where abouts in Erdington did your Mother live?........

I'd sooner a day out in sparkbrook. Do go over for the day. Bet your out inside an hour.
