Wolverhampton Town Centre Christmas 1989 & 1990

[@marclaw4511]

Magical,people were nicer back then.

[@MattRichardsEsq]

I was 18 back then. I remember when Wolvo was like this... shops that were open, loads of people. Good times.

[@mrjohn.whereyoufrom]

Wolverhampton is like a ghost town nowadays, even on a Saturday.

[@HarryRobinsonsProfile]

I think the global pandemic might be having an influence on that…

[@TheTouc85]

Like every town this size across the UK.

[@birrysund3269]

Wolverhampton was the best place in the Midlands, now it's like living on another planet...

[@welshie1979]

I was born there.. lived in albrighton until late 80s..whats is like now then? Thinking of moving back with work..I hear mixed stories. Sounds like 3rd world in some areas but fine in others

[@boeingbwoy]

@@welshie1979 you'll be OK in the outskirts. Compton, Tettenhall wightwick. Avoid the rest...

[@darrencrane8127]

Brings back lovely childhood memories.

[@zoidberg444]

Thankyou for uploading this - I would have been 18 months old at the time but this Wolverhampton is far more familiar to me than it is now and I do have some very foggy memories of 1990 and 1991. God bless you. Videos like this are all I have left of good times.

[@juleerowley9706]

They always put on a beautiful display at Christmas

[@qwanathomas735]

This video made me happy and sad 😭

[@chrisrowl5001]

I worked in mills fruiterers in the gallery in 92,if any of the girls who worked there at that time are reading this,it was a pleasure 👋🏼

[@andygeorgiou3803]

I was 2 at the time. Used to love visiting my grandparents around Christmas time and can remember the lights above the streets.

[@darrensmith2734]

I agree 20th century all the way 21st century down the pan we were so lucky to be in that decade to see all this it was magic ❤

[@christinamccheyne2011]

Wonder if anyone recognises themselves. It was so busy then. Lovely seeing Woolworths. You had to shop then, no internet. It was lovely seeing Mander centre fully dressed up, this started to lesson as the years went by. Maybe the owners charged too much for the sites.

[@christopherhulse8385]

I always travelled from my home in Stourbridge to shop in Wolvo, such happy times.

[@luckymel7335]

This looks better there than wolves today lol wish I could go back to this time

[@johnward4978]

Before the internet,town like this we're thriving

[@vincent-lr6io]

my childhood mander center

[@matrags]

Happier times I think.

[@anilsuwan5900]

I would have been 2 at the time, but this is beautiful.

[@louisehadley2623]

Me too 😁

[@vxrdrummer]

Shopping centre moving displays were the best. Our local place had it every year, and I remember it being magical late 80s, early 90s. It was exciting to go shopping at Xmas back then. You could feel it.

[@joshblakemore336]

Thank you for uploading these videos! It's nice to see how it was before I was born ☺️ I was 1995!

[@monicarobinson862]

My dad selling not dogs right at the end x

[@geoffsaxby3547]

he was a familiar face back in the day

[@russrussyboyblue8991]

Love Christmas love Wolverhampton

[@AlisonBryen]

This was my childhood!

[@marywwilliams7740]

Remember those displays, they must have been magical for children, put you in the Christmas mood. Shopping on line not for me , like to try clothes on and feel the material. 👋👍

[@arunbainsuk]

Thank you

[@FOXHOUND4143]

I REMEMBER ALL THIS LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. THE MANDER CENTRE WAS JUST A HIVE OF ACTIVITY BACK THEN! IT'S A SHELL OF IT'S FORMER SELF NOW. GOOD MEMORIES.

[@thefifthdoctor6780]

Brilliant childhood memories. What a horrible place it’s become

[@welshie1979]

Is it that bad? Or is it just the centre. Places like tettenhall Cosford codsall albrighton still nice..albeit they are outside centre

[@darrensmith2734]

Internet has killed shopping centers. sadly best memories ever 😭😭😭😭

[@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order]

This video made me feel warm and fuzzy :o) Happy memories.

[@LivingSaintUK]

Sadly I missed this Wolverhampton. I was in the east Midlands back then. 2007 I came over the border.

[@darrensmith2734]

😭😭😭what's happened it's not just here it's everywhere 😭😭

[@charlesbeltington-smythe9229]

Wow, Wolves has gone right down the crapper... what happened?!

[@welshie1979]

Lack of investment and poor social engineering.

[@darrensmith2734]

Mate I answer that internet shopping and stupid prices for shop premises internet shopping is crap you never get the right stuff instead of spending money in London what about the rest of the country you only can the city better with money which doesn't grow on trees very sad but its life unfortunately😊😊😊

[@djstevester5]

Scary nearly thirty years old...

[@rmg5111]

The 20th century !!

[@vincent-lr6io]

i love watching this!

[@malcolmgeorge1180]

Were real magical Christmas then unlike now, killed by greed money spinners

[@DavidTurner-br6qw]

When the mander centre was the place to be on a Saturday

[@andrewdavies2679]

Wow no Amazon shops busy and a good vibes better ? you decide 🤔

[@deborahocampo852]

Don't know the area but everywhere is diffent...missablle....there's too many people in a tiny country called great britton which was not called that for a reason. Everyone loves great britton so now it's gone down in every town I'm the UK....but I still love my country.but and there's a lot of buts...

[@jermainesimpson834]

I was 1 back then

[@DanRblxx]

[@jagssandhu9740]

Omg the year i was born lolzz

[@user-ie5ez7rd9k]

Towns and cities were better in the late 20th century since the 21st century began its all gone pear shaped

[@rmg5111]

Was better in the 20th century

[@RazSux]

[@jakecavendish3470]

It was a fun time, apart from the whole IRA/AIDs stuff

[@user-dw1gi1qn2g]

Immigrants killed it
