We should all do videos like this for future generations.
Many thanks!Thank you Terry. I have replaced the old link in post 1 with your new link
Looks like Terry's video here he wrote:The links and videos do not appear to be working? Is it my computer or is there a problem. Would love to see Kings Heath in 1960's.
Thanks, Maurice! I think I'm right in saying that the library is one of the places in the film that is still intact today! Terry
Yes, Kings Heath Library is still there but much altered inside. Hope Chapel which used to be next door moved a long time ago to the corner of Reddings Rd/Alcester Rd. Chapel demolished & a new extension was built for the library - used as childrens library.
WOW...……….Almost 60 years ago! Thank you.Looks like Terry's video here he wrote:
Silent 8mm home movie, filmed circa 1960 in King's Heath, Birmingham. This is an improved copy of my original upload under the same title which has unaccountably disappeared from YouTube
