Walking around Birmingham | #74 Hall green - Stratford Road | England UK 2021

[@marble204]

I served my time as an apprentice stonemason at Bannocks of Birmingham 1562 Stratford road, from 1977 - 1980 watching this brought back happy carefree memories.

[@paulfarnhill1023]

I lived around this area from 1961 to 1974; I migrated to Australia 40 years ago. Watching this was a trip down memory lane for me. The old buildings are the same, the shops have all changed. It seems very different but strangely familiar. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed it!

I'm glad the video was beneficial to you Paul Farnhill 🙂 Thank you for watching.

Have you got a family member / relative called bronwyn perry by any chance?

[@lindabrown0]

I lived in Hall Green from 1960 to 1967 on Petersfield Rd. Thanks for the video.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Thank you for watching the video Linda🙂 I appreciate it.

[@adamalesali875]

Not a inch of land or pavements or roads or whatever you wanna call that I haven't embraced around this lovely child hood memory of mine I remember the old hall green all the shops and greenery around walking to school many years ago remember it like it was yesterday and always will would never leave my heart and wouldn't change it for the world if I could go back ill go in a hearbeat

[@abuismail9983]

Hall Green is quite nice indeed, especially the southern area towards Shirley/Solihull but also some of the streets off Stratford Road... Nice that you finally made to film it 😊.

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Thanks for watching. Yes, I did Shirley yesterday and it is indeed very nice. And the pavements are massive, therefore ideal for filming 🙂

38:11 my Great Grandparents owned the house on the corner 1382 Stratford in the 50’s before moving to Canada.

The craziest thing about all of these videos is that i have lived in Birmingham all my life and i'm shocked how little i have paid attention to and how many things i have i have though all of these areas so many times.

[@robertebanks5910]

All those nice High rise flats, Solihull village reminds me of London nice and modern 👍🏻

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

I agree, that housing estate looks very nice and modern.

Hey @Joseline I live in Greater London and am considering a move to the Suburbs of Birmingham. I was looking at Hall Green as an area and came across your video. Just wanted to thank you and give a shout out as was able to see the main Hall Green areas thanks to you. Anyone reading this- I would welcome your suggestions on which areas to buy. My budget is 300 ish k and Hall Green is where I am looking at currently..

[@tigerstripey4885]

All towns are generic nowadays, same shops, same cars, same everything. Whats the difference really.

[@mrhaf84]

Did you end up buying in Hall Green? I was born and raised in West London up until my mid twenties and moved to Wales about 10 years ago. Im looking to relocate again but I'm not to keen in moving back to London. I've been looking at Birmingham for a while now and Hall Green in particular hence how I stumbled across Joseline's amazing videos of Birmingham. House prices have seemed to have increased in the last 7 months.

[@anwarmiah6948]

@@mrhaf84 hi there. I am still waiting for my flat in London to sell and then I have the difficult decision to make.. my two options are east towards essex or B'ham (in which it will be Hall Green). I drove down a while back in the weekend and drove around Hall Green and took time to walk around a bit. I have been told Hall green south is the nice area. Also have noticed prices have gone up in the last year by a significant amount!!

[@mrhaf84]

@@anwarmiah6948 I know tell me about it....prices have gone up significantly everywhere. Iv just sold on my house over the asking price, which Im happy about but its also gone up in Birmingham too . Lots of buyers not many houses on the market. For me I need a bigger house and its unachievable in and around London with the budget I have. For now I get more for my money in Birmingham. I suspect prices in Birmingham will go up in next 5 to 10 years and it will be difficult for people to buy a decent house there in the near future.

[@anwarmiah6948]

@@mrhaf84 if uv sold up, buy in Bham or surrounding area asap!!! With people being allowed to work from home more and more, prices in other major cities will go up and by the looks of It Bham has taken a huge hike in the last couple of years alone!

Stratford road , I was always passing through to Stratford On Avon, Leamington Spa and Warwick where I used to work in my Civil Service days. Lol

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Thank you for watching MusicLover. What a long road! Yesterday I recorded Stratford Rd in Shirley (1h10) and next time I need to do Sparkbrook... How long did you work for the Civil Service for?

[@musiclover5023]

@@citiesthroughmyeyes Yes Stratford road is amazing used to love going all the way to Stratford upon n Avon on Sundays. Nearly ten years in Civil Service. Left for the world of Investment Banking, I am now in Aviation.

[@BOSTINGBLUES]

So nice to see the areas around where I live documented. 😊

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Hello Bostingblues, nice to hear from you. It was actually the first walking this road and I underestimated how long it would take me 😀 Lol.

[@BOSTINGBLUES]

@@citiesthroughmyeyes Well done Joseline. You had lovely weather for your walk , as did I at Elmdon Park yesterday with my U3A Strollers group. We've been to several of parks nearby like Knowle , Dorridge and Brueton .

[@Talos2kX]

Ahhh my old end :D there's a road that turns off the Stratford road called school road, so far up there there's a church which is built in the shape of a cross, you'll notice it better on Google maps aerial view, the church of ascension I think it's called, been around since the 1700s

[@Talos2kX]

14:45 take a left and head up that road, at the end, on your right side you'll find that church :D

[@citiesthroughmyeyes]

Hi Talos 2kX, thanks for watching. Next time I go there, I'll take a look at that church 😉
