Just a quick one spotted on YouTube by friend of the blog Jayne Preston today – a most curious bit of video, recorded in July, 1992.
The video posted by user Craig Niven seems to be connected with local police at the time – almost 25 years ago – and shows Lichfield mainly, although late on there’s a very interesting trip down Brownhills High Street and into the car park at the back of Brownhills Police Station which was then still fully.operational.
Fans of cars of the period and the long, thankfully lost Austin Montego – may also find some gold in there. Anyone any idea where the lanes are the police were filming in?
Thanks of the spot, Jayne, that took me right back.
