A short film on slum housing in Bolton Road Small Heath 1973

Thought this might interest somebody. Not sure where I got it from, The young lady 2nd from the left looks familiar, wonder if anybody on here can tell me who she is.
 
Only just caught up with this...brilliant! Loads to look at on this Mace Archive site, I shall spend hours. One thing; the caption says Bolton Road Handsworth, but it's obviously Small Heath.
 
Yes Charlie,

Obviously Bolton Road Small Heath with the Bolton Arms on the corner of Oakley Rd in the background.
