I went last Sunday, took some great pics and go get my girls outdoors xxxxx

What type of tree is it? We've seen this at Saltwells but am currently standing by a very similar tree at Himley Hall

Thats a lovely old padlock on there! I wonder if the keyholder is still alive

What is that dome in field ?

One of my favorites

I use spend all my summer holidays there fishing back in the 70s even in the grove when the copper wore about 😭😭😭😭👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦊

Use to deliver foundry sand there back in the late 80’s from British Industrial Sand at Chelford Cheshire.

hey mate, can you fish this stretch of river? alot of it seems inaccessible is there parts towards cradley that you can access?

I do live here❤

Hello to all my cousins who found their way here.

There used to be a little campsite by the Boat Inn in the early 80's that we stayed on many times - owned by the council to bring people and schools to the region think it closed in by 86 - it was a great idea

We must never forget about the tiny remnants of nature remaining in our urban centres.

This has just taken me back to my child hood, we used to always play at "The Black Rocks" as we called them, never knew the term slagheap and the meaning behind it. Always thought there was something special and mysterious about the black rocks. I tried to take my teenage daughter over there last year to show her, but it was so overgrown and couldn't even access it, i was very disappointed. Very well made video, and has put a smile on my face.

When I was a kid living at the top of Station Road, we used to swim in the cut between the railway bridge and the tunnel entrance, Had to keep a lookout for the tug and its train of tube boats. That was in the late 40's and fifties. I left the area for good in 59 and hardly ever went back. I keep promising myself that one day I would go back just to see the changes - but I never get round to it.

Used to be the barge n barrel rock bar ! Wonderful memories and times ! Never to return I'm afraid 😢

Brilliant

Forged in Tipton, hardened in Dudley.

Thank you, beautifully compiled, St Mary's is steeped in local history.

No comments after 5 years? I used to play here when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s.... These are gun emplacements from ww2....

I've been here today and recorded a video while there. Most of that video focused on Madeley Community Orchard which is adjacent to St Michael's Church 😀

Ive been to this place back in the 90's....there were lots of 60's , 70's , 80's Jags there ...amazing place ...i wonder if its still there ?

I just now mentioned this church in a comment on one of Ben Maton’s videos (The Salisbury Organist) in the hope that he will travel to see the Claverly Church, its’ stained glass windows, and its’ marble effigies. He has many videos of him playing the organ in historic churches in England!!!!!!

I lived here until 2001 and our house was the Wedge (the one in the middle of the road in your first clip) I miss it so much :(

Just looking at this break my heart god bless our champ ❤

Have there been canon balls found in the pool

I lived there in 1962/63 when my dad, who worked for the Admiralty as a civil service clerk, was posted to the RNAD (Royal Naval Armaments Depot) in Ditton Priors, a great sprawling establishment used for storage and distribution of ammunition for the Royal Navy's ships. The location (and others up and down the country, all now defunct) was chosen due to its isolation for safety reasons. Now an industrial estate of sorts, all the old Victorian red brick storage buildings are still there, separated by embankments to contain any explosion to a single area. We lived in nearby 'Admiralty Quarters' under a mile away; a collection of breeze block and creosoted wood slatted single-storey buildings. The last time these were used was to temporarily house US GIs in the late 60s, following their ejection from France by De Gaulle. Only their concrete bases now remain.

Visited today. Mad is very accurate. Great service great food.

Is this safe to visit? My grandfather said there are or were at one point open mineshafts

I’ve seen it twice in Birmingham in 2012 August

THE Greatest... - and I'm a Liverpool supporter. What records he would have achieved...and with two of the other Babes who died being England internationals, you can see why England might have lived up to the belief they would win the World Cup in Sweden in 1958. He would have certainly captained England in 1966. Buried with his younger sister Carole Anne who died in 1947 aged 14 weeks...RIP

Shout out to Willenhall

It isn't a Roman hill fort (no such thing) it's at least Iron Age and may well date back to the Bronze Age.

Beautiful place, holds a special place in my heart ❤️

I saw it in 1996. It was at Night, all i saw was 3 Lights in a Triangle with a flashing smaller Red Light at the rear. Comparing the distance between the lights to say a Helicopter, it would have made a lot of noise. Comparison to a Passenger Jet if i assumed it to be the same size, it would have made a bit of a sound. But this was SILENT and if it was the size of a Passenger Plane... the area of the Sky it moved over and period of time it took, would be 10-12X faster than a Plane

Well the real one is in wales the round temple Arthurian leads to that of Jesus , Theseus

If it was named after the smog and dust of the furnaces then your mistaken. There was just as much smog in Cheshire where the furnaces used to heat the water to be pumped into the ground to mine the salt and Manchester area Wigan was just as bad. It was called the black country because of the 30ft seam of coal.

Fake team 👇🏻

what exactly happened about explosion, which happened on 16th October 1875?

I lived in Ditton Priors in 1961-1963 as my Dad worked at the RNAD. It was an idyllic rural landscape for us youngsters to enjoy. I remember playing in a small clapboard hut on the surface, next to this ROC post, so it predates 1965. It had a small platform outside, so in effect a surface observation station. It had two or three bunks inside, I recall. It looks like it succumbed over the decades to the ravages of Nature and disappared. I assume that was a post built in the 1930s/40s and the underground facility replaced it in the 50s? I vaguely remember playing in there. One time, someone responsible for the underground bunker came along and opened it up, and we looked down the ladder - I can't recall if he invited us down or not, but it looked a bit foreboding to us 14 year olds! So it was operational when I lived in the area, and perhaps he was an appointed local 'caretaker' who was charged with checking it now and then. Thanks for the video!

Does anyone fish the pool any more, not fished it since the 90s

Brings back memories of Coseley tunnel and the cut I was born and breed in Coseley Tunnel street

From a time when human beings had a laugh without being made to feel guilty

Let's hope someone goes to jail for this crlme !!!
