Always talk to older people when hunting for old industry, they have all the memories, and when these people have gone, so goes all the stories that they had.
this was so well done thank you. I used to live on the Stourbridge rd and didn't know any of this. you should do walks and charge it would be so interesting
Thank you appreciate that . That's why its good to document most of this so many people can look back and go I remember that or I never knew that was there . Alot of good old stuff has vanished and as the communities expands more stuff will vanish in the need for new housing
Very interesting vid mate , getting rid of all these factorys and building houses what do people do for work now ?? Mind you years ago i think people just lived at work and didnt need homes lol.
Nice local walk out Drew with a load of history to look at. 👍

That's true that tbh once most of older gen has gone our history is gonna be more less than what it is now

Thank you for this appreciate it . It's amazing to see what was there I did think about doing some history walks in a group organisation
Interesting stuff on the Cradley Boiler Company. Who would have known the buildings are still there and still in use.
Thanks bud I only realised untill that bloke told me cool of him showing me the old photo tbh I bet many years back that factory was much bigger
Also check out anvil yard next to jay lawleys garage and the old chain shop up hightown
I'll check out one bud I'm gonna do some more filming around that area sometime
Great video...its a real shame that all out history is being deleted...and, they call it progress ! 😀

Cradley forge is believed to be where the industrial revolution started back in the 1600s by smelting iron with coal instead of charcoal
