If Handsworth was a Postcard...

[A Sparks]

I came across these three videos compiled by Joceline Glai on YouTube.
They are a mix of old postcards of roads and areas of Handsworth with film of the current (2020) area shown and she includes some history and comments.
I think she has done a great job and thought it would be good to share her excellent work with everyone.

@Morturn and @carolina
Thanks both, I watched the Handsworth ones as I know the area but will look for the others, the Hockley and JQ should be interesting!

It is probably about 55 years since I walked along Villa Road and the Lozells Road. I did it today with Joceline Glai. near where I once lived; near where my Past family lived; where my dad drove the 70 and 72 buses. Wow! It was amazing. I recognised everywhere - where it still is and where it was. But!!!! The litter!!!!
