Hi Lyn, you've come up trumps again with that. So where did Mrs. Bulger live? I think that was the ladies name.
 
Where did they find al those 'posh, putting it on.' speakers? :)

The frightfully posh BBC accents were of its time. This Received Pronunciation is the accent traditionally regarded as the standard for British English, the story is its geographically neutral however, it’s a discussion that would need another thread.
 
not in birmingham but would think stories like this one were the same all over the country...you would think that all this happened many years ago but the bradley children in this video are most likely still living...some things dont change though as housing is still a big problem...maybe it will never change

Thanks lyn for posting.
housing is still a big problem...maybe it will never change... Its hard to believe Hovels are still being lived in today 2020.but they are.

I agree Mort. Was intrigued by the brickmaker. As I see it the brick she is making is enormous! And in the shop counter , it looks like Black country people lived on CornFlakes

I found the brickmaking interesting also and would love to see more photos about the local brickmaking industry. She could have been making a decorative tile or slab.
