Thank you very much. That brought back a few memories. The old days weren't necessarily better but the pace of life was slower and there was a way of life that we'll never see again.

[@nickb5391]

A lot of people in these photos would be turning in their graves to see how our city has been ruined today

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

What utter rubbish, as a Brummie who was a kid in those days Birmingham was a dump with as you can see bomb sites, slums and a bleak out look, some of these people will be alive now either middle aged or pensioners but like me I find the new Birmingham a better brighter place to live.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

What ruined today, did you actually watch the Video, it showed Birmingham as an absolute ruin of run down slums which have been taken awy and replaced with modern housing. I remember as a child Birmingham then, it was the pits nothing to be nastalgic about unless you like bombed out ruins and slums with no bathroom and outside toilet.

[@topquark6919]

I know poverty was widespread, housing was poor and most of us now live healthier and longer lives. However, there is an unmistakeable appeal to these bygone times.

[@johnbowkett80]

Born in Loveday Street Hospital in 1956 . Raised for a few years in Lower Essex Street then St Martins Flats , Highgate ....... Now live in Mosesley . A Brummie through and through . 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@chriscoughlan5221]

I remember the old buses with affection, some possibly dont especially in the winter!

[@wyndhamdufty7855]

😊😊

[@yell50]

The pictures moved along too fast made it difficult to recognize where some of the pictures were taken, however thanks for uploading.

[@dragonofthewest8305]

You could of slowed it down

[@paulwalsh9680]

Great set of images. If I have one (minor) criticism, it's that the images aren't on screen long enough befor transitioning to the next

[@ic3man282]

trust me ahaha , gotta pause or slow it down

[@markknight1011]

Blink for 1 second, and you’ll miss them.

[@chriscoughlan5221]

I AGREE WITH THESE COMMENTS, SLOW THINGS DOWN PLEASE!!

[@pauladams1915]

Unwatchable. The duration of the images is too short. If you try and pause you get a ghost image. Shame.

[@rw6391]

Wonderful thank you

[@dragonofthewest8305]

Britain was such a beautiful place

[@leopold23756]

i grew up here - old memories. Miss it still

[@rw6391]

Birmingham was

[@egbront1506]

Slums, crumbling and unmaintained housing stock, poor plumbing, outside toilets, pollution from cars and smoking blackening the frontages of busier areas and yellowing the inside of houses and cafes. Gorgeous.

[@peterstaples1]

Interesting video but it's a pity each image was not up for a few seconds. Just as you wanted to look at something, it was gone.

[@vicnewey3557]

You can easily slow videos right down on KZbin, click on settings/playback speed and select a lower speed

[@adriankatsikides3390]

was a city to be proud of...as was every city in Great Britain, I know I was there In Brum from '61 on

[@musiclover5023]

What do you mean "was" it still.is following the huge redevelopment ...... Rather nice these days. I am Birmingham born.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

What, Birmingham was a dump then, I lived through it, dirty terraced Houses, slums, bomb sites , smoke, fumes and dirt, this is why Brum got it's bad name, I am now proud of Birmingham now with its modern City Centre, Green Parks every where and modern housing. I lived through tose times and hated it, but now living in modern Birmingham is fantastic.

[@viewerabundzu6887]

do this again and leave the images on a bit longer please

[@svenghetti644]

Yes, as others have said, great pictures but appalling presentation. The dissolves are far too long and the pictures on screen for less than a second. Disappointing.

[@truthseeker-777]

The fade transitions were downright annoying. No sooner had an image appeared than it’s being faded into another. Pausing at the right spot is almost impossible due to the speed of the fade. I feel almost travel sick after watching it.

[@doctortinkle3834]

Nice pics, shame about the dwell time.

[@Akoalawithshades]

you need to let a picture sit for a few seconds

[@MrHagrid64]

i didnt have any trouble between images great video

[@belfastjack]

Good to hear t

[@markhemming318]

There's always one.

[@tanktanktanktanktank]

Would have been a great video but butchered by the image speed

[@kenmarsh402]

We were on the number 55 Shard End route. Not everyone had cars in thought days and there weren’t so many cars on the road like today . The old ones were cold because there wasn’t a door at the back’ they were a lot better and warmer when the new ones with the doors at the front came out. The other thing I can remember was when the original bullring shopping centre opened going down the long pathed ramp to the market with my mother

[@MrGranfield]

Yellow and dark blue surely.

[@kenmarsh402]

Hi you are more than likely right because one it was so long ago and two I’m colour blind. I once brought a marina which was dark green I thought it was dark blue

[@musiclover5023]

@@MrGranfield Yes yellow and dark blue or was it "blue and cream" as my teacher who was from up North used to say, she loved our buses. My friend Kevin jumped off the number 90 before it had completely stopped at the bus stop in Heathfield road , Handsworth in 1971 I still have vivid memories of him cartwheeling down the pavement. He was ok though Lol

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

Sorry Birmingham Buses were never Yellow and Black, they were Cobalt Blue and Cream or Red if it was Midland Red.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

@@MrGranfield Cobalt Blue and Cream, Birmingham buses never were in any shade of Yellow

Does anyone know this piece of music?

Eric Satie - Gymnopédie

[@jacketrussell]

Transitions far too fast.

[@malthusXIII-fo3ep]

Handsworth looked rather swamped after just 15 years.

[@phealy02]

Poor (too fast) editing.

[@malthusXIII-fo3ep]

After just 15 years, just look at the pre-dominance of black and muslim people in the first part of the film. Why were they directed to Handsworth and Smethwick in particular? And how did the local, indigenous white people react and respond to such profound racial changes in the locality..and at such speed?

[@desmondrobinson169]

No Blacks no Irish no dogs, that's why. That is how the indigenous people reacted.

[@gospelman7222]

I was born & bred in Smethwick. The indigenous people were not allowed to protest, otherwise they were accused of racism. My response was to move south to Portsmouth, where I have lived very happily for the last 54 years.

[@malthusXIII-fo3ep]

@@gospelman7222 On YT, you can see Birmingham streets - city centre 1965/6, very few black faces to be seen. Complete opposite if you go up to town today at 1pm, hardly a white face to be seen. A very profound racial revolution thanks to the utterly disastrous Tony Blair. UK has been destroyed by third world immigration.
