Join my friend Gary, Cherry and I for a fun day at the Black Country Living Museum's 1940s weekend! The museum is a small town near Birmingham that's been preserved/created to tell the story of the Black Country from a time gone-by. In this vlog we get traditional Fish & Chips, ride the fair ground rides, see the D-Day Darlings perform and take a canal boat into the mines!

It was great to do something different. That ride was scaaaaary! X

[@cherrywallis]

Aww what a delight to relive this day through your vlog! Thank you for inviting me to spend the day with you! ♥️

[@gemmadowns1754]

Wow I love Adam, Gary and Cherry x

[@sallys3475]

I was not expecting that carousel to turn into a wild bronco! Poor Gary!

[@garyc]

Sally S It was even faster in person! Those two were hysterically laughing!

[@sallys3475]

@@garyc Isn't that what best friends do best?😀

[@amandahutto7988]

I'm thoroughly enjoying these videos of adventures. You and Gary should honestly have a travel show!

[@homesteadblessings8886]

I love that you bring Gary C. Please always bring him. He is your friend and also a wonderful man

[@rebeccahooley532]

I live like 10 minutes away. Every single child has a school trip to the Black Country museum at one point. I knew Gary would not like that mining tour. 🤣 I HATED IT! They used to do a school class session, where you had to write on the board and the teacher would shout at you. It’s a very niche experience. But a good day out. And those fish and chips are SOMETHING ELSE.

[@CheersEars]

Gary's face said it all with the fish and chips!!! Looked amazing x

[@sandrap.6530]

Really like these day trips around places I will never get to see. Adam & friends make good ambassadors to their home country. Entertaining while being educational vlogs always works for me.

[@jaynejohnson2671]

Loved this vlog. I used to live near there before i moved to Australia. I miss the Black country and the people. My Black country roots are very important to me. Thanks for sharing. xxx

[@hanahbananas2300]

I love old timey stuff like this. Thanks for sharing your day there with us. Your Disney stuff is my number 1 thing to watch but I like when you visit other places too. You give us so much information on it. It’s great. 😀👍🏼

[@cheryls.4491]

You all looked like you really enjoyed yourselves. Gary's face while trying to hold on during the ride had me laughing lol. It looks like a lovely place to visit.

[@janetpayne8129]

hi there. I am from Dudley originally (black country!!!!). remember this so well and brings back some memories as i am 66!

[@margaretdow8723]

I love these vlogs. Love seeing places I wouldn't normally see. The spinning ride was a riot.

[@sandyvi808]

Tears 😭 from this yank subscriber on singing of White Cliffs of Dover.😍

[@Americandancestudios]

A love when you show us your life at home!

[@nanouminai]

Oh my God! I just can't believe this video. It reminded me I went to Black Country Museum in 1994, when I went to England with my school (I'm French) and it was a fantastic experience... Looking at the pictures right now... Thanks for the memories!

[@butchupman]

OMG Thank You for this trip I love all your Vlog but this one . I wouldn't want to leave I would hide some where just to live the life. This period of time 1940s WWII home life . I love watching shows like Home Fires , Foyle's War, Miss Marple with Joan Hickson which by the way played the cook in the movie Murder She Said with Margaret Rutherford. I have Acorn T.V and Britbox here in the States. I could go on and on and on and on . LOL I just loving the Black Country Museum. So Thank you Adam, Hello GaryC, and Hello friend of Adam and Gary.

[@camillepowell5937]

Really enjoying these vlogs from England.

[@LALyman223]

Dang it! ANOTHER place to visit! How fun. Love events such as these. Sure wish you'd at least have taken a bit of video of the cake shop when you mentioned it. The sweet shop footage almost made up for it.

[@annpritchard1567]

Hi Adam, you always make me smile, thank you x

[@marjielalonde3875]

I loved this, I live in Canada now but was born in Lancashire in 1950, so a lot of this was very familiar, and man I would kill for those fish and chips right now! Thanks for being a regular part of my Sundays!

[@kayatwood5183]

Cute place. It is nice to see how things used to be. I bet my Dad would really love it.

[@myrnapowell1637]

Oh I loved this! It reminds me of the 1940’s House they had on tv. This was so good. I just love all your adventures .Thank you for bringing us along ♥️

[@steveathey5950]

Great vlog, always love to see your vlogs with Gary. We have Beamish up he that’s similar to that museums. Hope we bump into to you both in September when your in WDW 😊

[@kimnelissen379]

Hi Adam ! Love the vlog , your vlogs always make me smile and make my sunday compleet. Love to see Gary in it ! 🤗

[@jimhunter6862]

Just found this one- looks like fun! Also, looks like the place where a mystery would take place in one of those great British mystery series- “Barnaby and his wife were strolling through the shops at the 1940’s weekend when a scream rang out from the carousel...” Good stuff

[@patrick.e913]

Great Vlog loved the Fair Ground rides next time try The Beamesh living museum.

[@sheasteidl1003]

Adam, I really enjoyed seeing this historical museum. We have several similar living museums in the United States but its just nice to see the sights in your country. Visiting England is defiantly on my bucket list. Thank you

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

Often toyed with the idea of visiting this place, but never made it. Looks really interesting, especially the traditional sweet shop.

[@EmilyAnnTalbotzie]

I went there on a school trip lol (30yrs ago now lol) I got freaked out on the tunnel boat lol (I don't like small spaces lol) !! And I fell up the stairs in one of the buildings lol !!

[@suzanneconnor6690]

Loved this, you should do more home stuff! Looking forward to when your back on Orlando guys x

[@tamaraellis2733]

why did no one make the 4 candles joke in the hardware store? Gary I’m looking at you I thought you would of known that one

[@FROMKYLE2U]

This was brilliant...I love this type of stuff... Boston, Massachusetts and the surrounding areas have a lot of these... you guys would enjoy them as well....thank you !

[@theSonichammer]

I live 5 minutes from the museum and I never go there. I went there when it first opened (I'm 47 now). They do some brilliant fireworks too . Glad you enjoyed yourselves :)

[@tomp8260]

Oh no mate it's not Brum! That'll upset anyone from our area XD Cheers for all the uploads about Disney, looking forward to having our first family holiday there in a couple years

[@chellec3551]

As if you were here, i live 5 mins away. glad you had fun x

[@Olivia-wj7hm]

Yaayyy. I forgot it was Sunday and i really need to be cheered up and your vlogs always do that so thank youuuu. It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm going to be 16 but I really don't know how I feel about it as I just haven't always been contempt with life for so long now... And I have the added stress of getting my gcse results in just over a week and my brother is just taking the mick and it's annoying the hell out of me so I'm just going to chill and enjoy your vlog for now. THANK YOU ADAM SO MUCH FOR MAKING VLOGS! I don't know what I'd do without them ❤❤❤

[@terrymccormick611]

The canal boat ride was better than the Na’vi River ride!

[@kimt8162]

THey have something like that here. Connor Prairie, it's a living history museum of the 19th century where people do Civil War reenactments They dress up and you have interactions with them; it doesn't have that cute little amusement park. But, yes this living museum looks neat.

[@Pladium893]

I've wanted to go here for ages, I think they film part of peaky blinders there too, great vlog! X

[@garyc]

J P they do!

[@Designing_Her_Legacy]

We love fish and chips ! It looked amazing. What do you think of the ones served at Rose and Crown in WDW?

[@juliajones2283]

I live about 10 miles away and last went there about 15 years ago. I think I need a re-visit. But I didn’t like the underground mining in the dark I seem to remember !!

[@samhancox3071]

I have lived right by this for nearly 20 years and the last time i went was probably 19 years ago lol think I should return "it looks bostin'" (in a black country accent)

[@rebeccacross2611]

OMG this is very strange to me. This is like 30 minutes from my house 🙈 I used to go just literally to get a bag of chips as if you pay entry once and give to gift aid you got free entry for a year 👏🏻 don’t know if they still do this as it was a good few years ago but it was great for a few hours out.

[@chuckoneill2023]

This looks like so much fun. Here in the states, we certainly have “living history” places, but they either focus on 1776 (our revolution) or 1860/65 (our civil war). We definitely commemorate WWII - just not quite in this way. However, I really need to know : What is Chocolate Veal? I gotta say, it sounds disturbing.

[@rachelbridgewater4550]

I LOVE the west midlands (I'm a west mid girl born & bred)! Love the black country humour. Just 1 complaint - The Black country museum isn't classed as being in Birmingham!

[@jewkes43]

Omg 😮 that’s like 5 mins away from my house ! 😩

[@zac546]

Its not birmingham its a solid 40 min to 1 hour away its in dudley but the buildings are from all over the black country mainly brierley hill

[@Eric-kf6dy]

Fun

[@rebeccahooley532]

If you buy a day ticket, you can return all year for free! (I believe!)

[@christinestobbs774]

Most Haunted have been here. You should check it out

[@shaneperry638]

My first reaction when seeing that posted a new video was “Why it gotta be black” ... but that is just the horrible American mindset of mine. Looks like you had loads of fun :)

[@lisamorton8230]

The "black country" is an area of the West midlands, near Birmingham, where I live actually, it's said to have got it's name from the all the smoke from the ironwork foundries and from the coal from all the mining in the area back in the 19th century.

[@shaneperry638]

Lisa Morton Thank you for sharing the history. I’m from Western Pennsylvania with its Coal and Steel Industries - 50 years ago there was so much pollution, everything was covered in ash and soot. The resilience and perseverance of the people who lived through those times amaze me.
