ALL ABOVE THE CIRCLE, FAREWELL TRIBUTE 1964 - 2024
Opened by Tony Blackburn in 1964 The Kingstanding Circle shopping centre holds many memories for many people.
But with no investment for 60 years it's time to go.
Change is good.
Please note,
I am not sponsored by Lidl in any way, I have approached them for some form of sponsorship, as I am basically advertising for them for free, but they have not got back to me as yet,
I doubt if they will.

FULL CIRCLE, IT'S ALL GONE ! 1964 - 2024
มุมมอง 2.2K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
That's it for the shopping centre now, the last bit fell today... Opened by Tony Blackburn in 1964 (Radio DJ). Interesting fact, When the land was donated to Birmingham council it was on the condition there would always be a public house on the site. So I wonder where the pub will be situated now ?
NEARLY FULL CIRCLE !

A CIRCLE OF RUBBLE

The demolition is about 2/3 complete, I think they will leave the remains of the pub till last as it's acting as a wall at the moment. It's moving quite fast now so stay tuned... I think the story that they had pulled out is just a 'Lidl' rumour ..

    Mixed feelings, I had happy memories of growing up here in the 60s n 70s id spend hours shopping there with my late mother, everything movies on I guess, you've definitely captured some local history in the making here mate! Will you film more of the progress of the Lidl building as well? All the best 😊

    Great, another fecking Lidl! There's already one only a mile away 🙄 Have you considered the impact you are going to make on an already ridiculously heavy traffic area?

      Thank you for your comment sir, but I must let everyone know I am not sponsored by Lidl in any form or way, I am documenting this historic event voluntarily for the benefit of everyone to enjoy. And yes you are right, as I have said in many of these video's , the traffic will increase, but then , it's doing that anyway.
