Here’s a quick fun series of videos that amused me greatly, found by top reader and local history ferret [Howmuch?] showing Birmingham just as everything was changing in the postwar era. I think everyone who knew the 1960s redevelopment of Birmingham – now long consigned to history – will raise a wry smile at these clips.
I know Peter ‘Pedro’ Cutler will like these particularly; note also the classic Telly Savalas promotional film available in my previous post about Birmingham of the period. I’ve also covered Birmingham’s redevelopment in my ‘Give Me The Ring’ post.
As an aside, note how many of the cars are British. They don’t make ’em like that any more…
