How grateful we must be, to the early creation of photography, and moving film, and those who recorded our past. I'm Birmingham born, (1941) and the family moved to the west country when I was 13. But despite all the War damage, I do remember many of the great victorian buildings, that escaped Hitler's bombs. Many thanks for sharing this excellent slice of history.

The flickering makes photos that are already out of focus even harder to see.

Good selection of photos. Can I suggest you redo the video without the flickering effect? It detracts from the enjoyment?

6:26 'Picturesque' is probably the last word I would use to describe Handsworth nowadays...

Brilliant I really enjoyed the stroll down memory lane

You can tell the period by the traffic, styles of cars, trolley and diesel buses and trains and planes with the aircraft (looked 1960s early 70s?).

Fascinating viewing

Used to love going to the Beaufort

Great pics, shame some were unidentified.

My old school at 2:24. 👍

Good OLD England
