The first four years of my existence were spent at 126 Cape Hill. I have a memory of the BIG redbrick wall across the road behind which was the M&B Brewery.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Great to hear from you 🙂. So this video is a trip back to Memory Lane. I tried to find old footages of Cape Hill on KZbin to no avail 🙁 There are several splendid buildings along that road.

In 1972 I was in the all boys school called Uplands boys school because Shirelands School for Girls back then until uplands boys and Shirelands Girls mixed together in 1972. So Shirelands secondary high school upper school and uplands School is lower school so we have go between lessons either uplands or Shirelands.

You're an inspiration 😊. I have a lot of jealous people that don't like me riding my bike. What you do is called Flaneuring. It's a French word if I'm correct for wandering.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Thank you you're very kind. And yes Flaneuring or "flâner" in French.

Try not to be put off by people saying you can't film. You are allowed to film anything in a Public Place! Great walk as usual Joseline! So I have now deciphered that your first language is French! Love the voice.....oooh la la!!

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Thank you Richard for your support 🙂 Yes my first language is French. And I actually think of going back to France to do some walking tours in and around Paris. Is it something that you would like to watch?

Hi Joseline, it's amazing seeing Waterloo road, I used to drive my wife to work ( she worked in Smethwick) pronounced. Smethick Lol my sister's ex boyfriend is from this area too lmao.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

It's very interesting to know the connection someone has with an area. Lool, next time I go there I make sure to pronounce Smeth(w)ick the right way 😀

[@lindabates-iz6pr]

Is this in England no fair skinned people

[@abuismail9983]

Salut Joseline! I disagree with what you have said in the video that people should be allowed to film everything and everywhere for KZbin Entertainment. I totally understand people want to have their privacy and not get filmed and put on KZbin. Although I am watching your channel I just think this whole KZbin - thing is getting out of control. People just film anything nowadays with no respect for people who aren't so passionate about KZbin or being on KZbin. Even if there is an accident, instead of helping, people just film it. This is the society nowadays. I do not say you are like that but in general it has become like this unfortunately. No shame, no privacy anymore. If someone for example does not want that you Film his shop inside or film the person itself. This should also be respected in my opinion.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Salut AbdulAziz, when I said I should be allowed to film inside people's houses I was joking. I didn't put a lol because I thought that was obvious. I did several times filmed inside shops. I know these are private places and that I should ask permission first...So what I do is not legal and I am aware of that. The reason I film the shops is because when I watch old footages of Kings Heath or other places I wish I could see how the shops looked like on the inside. Actually, people are not allowed to film everything and I know there are limits I will never cross. And I did blur out faces or take out entire clips of people who didn't want to be in the videos or threw away an entire video. The purpose of my videos is to show different areas, streets, etc. for historical and entertainment value. And I wish I started doing that from the time I was a child so that I could keep memories of the places I spent my childhood in. Sometimes photos are not enough. But I agree that people's opinion should be taken into account. But if I were to ask permission to all the people I encounter on the street - like one of the viewers DEMANDED I do. I would have to just stop making these videos. It is just not humanly possible and I can't be bothered...

[@MrKajjaGG]

Are you feeling alright, mate? Did you forget to take your medication? In England, you have rights and responsibilities dictated by law, not a bunch of sad little men acting as if their dad build the roads they stand on. If you are in a public place you can film whatever you please no matter what weird little nonces like you say.

[@Amazing-Aadil]

I go to cape primary school

[@jaybad2649]

I used to go to Cape Hill primary school and My brothers attend the Juniors which is next door and the big building there used to a dentist back then and further down the road theres is our family Doctors Surgery.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Interesting, so the building called Cape House used to be the dentistry? And what is Cape House today? Thanks.

[@gleniranking7904]

Yes back in the day , I haven't been to Smethwick for ages , so i don't know what is the building now. But down the road before you get to Dudley Road on your right which is now a new houses its use to be a Brewery Factory i think its called Mitchell and Butlers . and you can smell the yeast in the air or beer smell.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Alright, the location of the war memorial makes sense.

[@gillwarr6192]

@@citiesthroughmyeyes back in the day it used to be a dispensary but when I was a kid in the 70s Cape House used to be a school clinic which also had the schools dentist. I used to go to Cape Hill School opposite. I still live in the area and I think it is now a hmo
