Thank you for watching the video I am glad it brought childhood memories to you. Where do you live now?

Hi Joseline, thanks for responding to my comments.When I was a kid there were only 2 car owners in Witton Rd! Imoved with my parents tto Rubery (maisonette - now demolished) then Priestley Point near Salford Park (demolished to make way for Spag Junc) followed by Great Barr then Perry Barr where I got married and went off to live in a small Staffordshire town. divorced, moved back to Brum, Edgbaston followed by Newtown, Brooks Tower (now demolished) - Ironic that Witton Road still stands! Remarried and went off to live in a small village on the N. Wales coast followed by Hull E. Yorks then Lincoln followed by Grantham then a small village near Sleaford. Lincoln again and now Grimsby. Maybe I should consider selling the house and buying a gypsy caravan! Roger.

The same church that's now apartments and before the fire it used to be used for boys brigade? That church?

Hello Vailima49 Aston, yes that's exact. Hopefully after the restrictions, I will be able to do a stadium tour.

She passed the ground at 14.mins to the right hand side

Match day was good and bad great for car minding to some but also crowed from upper Sutton to Albert and Frederick. Still great tho.

I apologise for the delay in replying to you Dreampopwave studioB, I don't know if you got your answer already. But do you mean in Aston specifically or in wider Bham?

Thank you for watching the video. I put the area down in my notebook and I will definitely do it 😉

Kingstanding is mainly white people area of Birmingham lots of chavs live there .

You used to live inside the church? I didn't people could live in Church apart from religious people.

Yeah he grew up at 14 Lodge Road

For some reason your comments failed to show on my videos so I copied and pasted them in the comment section. Anyways, it was nice to see that so many fine buildings are still standing and well maintained.

How does fly tipping make them criminally minded ? 🤣😂

I was born on Albert Rd and spent my youth there. It was probably the nicest road in the area because of the large front and back gardens and huge Victorian houses. Things changed when people started getting cars and the council decided to dump problem tenants into the road. The first thing to disappear were the privet hedges, trees and all the greenery. It made the road look bare and neglected. That accelerated when the A38 expressway brought about "urban renewal", which left a lot of solid properties in a poor state of repair under the threat of compulsory purchase if you resisted. New incoming residents decided to paint their frontages in clashing garish colours and so the rot set in. There was nothing wrong with our house and my parents looked after it well but the council forced us to remove al the solid wooden panelled doors with thin modern chipboard and cardboard rubbish with flimsy aluminium handles. The workmen who the council sought out (for a fee) were pulled off the dole queue and hadn't had a woodworking lesson in their lives. Everything they did was an awful bodge and my dad spent years undoing the mess they made.

You are the second person to tell me that so I will definitely do it. I wrote it in my notebook 🙂

@@citiesthroughmyeyes I spent a lot of my childhood around this area my first 11 year's of life , Aston park was a regular place where I would go with my younger Brother the park had a paddling pool where lots of children would play with their families, there was also a driving course next to the pool area where we took our peddal cars, it was great fun when the sun was bright in the sky, that was around 1971 to 1973 great times we had.

Wow.Where was the pool exactly? I’ve been going Aston park since I was a youth,I’m 33 now.But was always curious about how Aston park was before I was born

@@Nozthedon1 Hi, the paddling pools were right at the front you could see them from the road ( Aston Lane in front of the Villa Ground) as you entered the driving course was also right at the front by the entrance, there was also a small adventure playground with a hut and everything there my brother and I were always there we loved it. Lol lots of fun times splashing in the pool or riding bikes or driving cars on the driving course. It was great !

Aston is one big dirty ghetto . Areas of Birmingham are forgotten about and run down riddled with rubbish everywhere and areas are full of crime and people are very segregated and divided no integration at all,lots of poverty which cause of these issues .

At work and paying taxes..

Wow scary! 😟

All moved to nice areas the English live in kings heath, kings Norton, Sutton Coldfield, West heath, Northfield,Sheldon , Stirchely, Yardley wood, erdington they segregate themselves inner Birmingham is s dump .

Loads of whites in Birmingham just many live in outer parts of Birmingham.

English can be found living in the pub too drunk to move.

The people walking around are British & English as well. The UK is one of the world's most open, multicultural societies.

They only come there to buy drugs

Mostly Pakistani and a good number of Bengalis

All the English moved out to nicer parts of Birmingham, Aston is a dirty rat dump.

Yes that is lodge Road if you look at 10:50 into this video that's lodge road and as you take a right from lodge road ozzys house is on the right side

@ RS Music, I didn't know that. Thank you for the information 🙂

@abz shak, Thank you for the information. I think of doing a past & present of Aston because it seems to have a lot explore

@@abzshak9 Thanks for pointing that out mate, I wasn't sure if it was filmed in the video.

@@citiesthroughmyeyes Yes, please do, lots of history in Aston, a very overlooked place in birmingham.
