Hey Isha, sorry for your old comments that I haven't responded to yet. I am going to do it very soon. 🙂 So many people have requested I do Lickey Hills. So when the weather allows it, I'll go there. Thanks for watching the video Isha 🙂

[@ishabrown]

@Cities Through My Eyes No worries. The views at the top of the Lickey Hills are awesome. Looking forward to watching.

[@markknight1011]

I live in Rubery. We got the Lickeys, and the Waseley Hills.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

The area got it's name because it was the place the King Charles the first camped at during the English Civil War when Charles 1st escaped from Aston Hall, a small bit of land in Kigstanding is nw fenced off for historical reasons hence the name given to the area " King Standing" Kingstanding

[@KianPennell]

I still live here❤

[@tabazan9182]

I used to work in and around kingstanding bought back some nice memories. Maybe you could do a walk around Rednal and the Lickey Hills. Some lovely walks and decent places to eat.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Joseline is this part of the W.A.B?

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Hello CTR Media Walsall, nice to hear from you 🙂 Yes this video is part of the WAB series.

[@ctrmediawalsall4262]

@@citiesthroughmyeyes Thank you 😊 🙏

[@ctrmediawalsall4262]

@@citiesthroughmyeyes I say Joseline I like the way you film, you literally shaped every corner around the circle. Definitely best to show the whole centre. 👍

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

When I started filming walking tours, I would record what was in front of me. I didn't move the camera around. And somebody in the comment section asked me if I was a 'pavement inspector' because I didn't show the stores' frontages. I was walking like a horse with blinkers basically. 😄 So since that comment, I got into the habit to show everything and the best way to achieve that was by doing circles and panning with the camera, and by trying to replicate eye movements when you look around you 😉

[@ctrmediawalsall4262]

@@citiesthroughmyeyes Yeah that's it, it's like Kingstanding centre is built on a large roundabout, and if it was built on crossroads it's the same concept of covering all the corners and shops isn't it.

My friend lived in kingstanding and she hated it.a lot of ani social behaviour goes on there
