Lockdown Walk - Plants Brook Sutton Park

June 2020 - I was looking for a stream for my 19mth old son to enjoy. This is a short walk inside the park- and still the same from when I was a child playing here - its shallow very clean and clear and he can easily paddle (and play Poohsticks) with loads of other spaces to explore and pushchair friendly - Lets keep it that way! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants_Brook

Kings Castle was a fantastic shop
Well done Stanley et al. Very worthwhile.
Just found this and really enjoyed watching it this evening. Thanks.
What a lovely trip down memory lane-remembering wonderful times I had as a child paddling in the brook and catching sticklebacks in a jam-jar with my sister and brother. That was 60 years ago and it doesn't look as if it's changed-I live in Essex now and don't get back to Sutton very often. Thank you for posting.
iv known them streams for over 40 years,
no stickel backs in there, may be some bullheads
Thanks so much for this, I have the original Video here, and I'm getting smashed by Macrovision. It won't record. How did You get It to Record?. And what did You use?.
Nature at its best. A shame those "people" in Bloxwich killed a swan there recently.
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 4 sentadillas son unos Kissssss.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesn abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k
Wonderful I really enjoyed this. It brought back a lot of memories of places now gone and names I'd forgotten. X
Brilliant video
Left Aldridge in 1964 having attended Wesley Hall infants, Leighswood Junior, Redhouse Lane Junior and Tynings Lane Secondary schools. Went back a few weeks ago for a walk round and lunch in the Avion (Wetherspoons) nicely renovated. Many memories.
Loved the Parish church. The Avion cinema and played soccer on the Croft.
I lived in Aldridge. 1964 to 1969. Lived at 112 Erdington Rd. Now live in Australia. Great memories. Had my first beer at the Elms. Regards David Pendry
An interesting video for me although I had to adjust the sound somewhat. I grew up in Aldridge and still consider it my home town.A safe and quiet place to grow up in. Now,I feel though,that it has long lost the feeling of a village it had back then-which is a shame. I've many memories of going in Lavells, Kings Castle and the old library in the Manor. My dad would take me to the Big K car park to have a go at driving his car. I seem to remember quite a few dads used to do that. Seeing as I don't reside a million miles away these days I am considering a photographic project of some of my old haunts.
I wonder if Ronald Smith is the same Ron Smith that wrote “ A paddle in Hockley Brook”
The red E-series 2:18 without the ERF badge on sounded awesome. I bet the driver really makes his cummins sing.
Totally loved this - I lived in Aldridge until just before my teens and for this reason am fascinated by the history of my childhood town. Thank you for sharing (:xxx
Fantastic work. Making a huge difference xx
Thank you to whoever has made this xxxxx
Wow many thanks to all those involved in making this video - I'm a former Brit now an American. I was raised in Aldridge and attended the Cooper and Jordan school from 1963 to 1966 - I remember those buildings (41.08) as though it was yesterday and even Mr. Patterson (44.01) my Class Teacher in 1964
We might have been contempories I went to Cooper and Jordan school about then
Thank you for uploading this video . I was brought up in Westgate Aldridge from 1961 until i moved away in 1990 . Fond memories of playing in the Ash Mounds Stubbers Green and the Atlas pool . My Mom used to bring the ice creams round in the interval at the Avion Cinema .
Yes indeed Ash Mounds, Perch pool, Brick and Tile the Atlas all those places were my fond childhood memories too from 1965 (lived on Leighswood Estate) - left UK in 1989 to Germany then came to America (citizen now). I notice now all those places GONE - replaced by factories - feel sorry for the kids in Aldridge for what they are missing now
@@HodgdonH110 Yes my friend , I'd forgotten the Perch pool ! Also catching newts in the Ash Mounds, swimming in the Atlas ,a gang of us walking over the frozen boating pool at Stubbers Green in the winter with the ice splintering under foot ! Riding out bikes around Linley woods down the Devils drop ! Discos at the Community Centre on the Common, Sunday discos at the Elms, the Hop and Grape. Buying the latest singles from Kings on the High St.All great memories :)
