Ridden the number 74 bus past that all through my childhood on the way to and back from St Edmunds CoE school top of Kates hill, i lived in the iron house at the bottom of bunns lane, doubt there's much left of the fifties and sixties Dudley i knew, the memories remain though, a great start to life in a nice neat well ordered town, full of every trade and profession known, i seem to remember the town boasted three cinemas once, the Plaza, the Odeon and the Criterion.

Fair play, probably the best demolition footage ive seen and great music too!

[@MrCleebo64]

Appreciate it thanks for that 👍

[@Wench64]

This makes me want to cry so many landmarks gone, wished I was born in the 20s wouldn't have to see all this going

[@MrCleebo64]

Yes ,sad for sure , there's so many fascinating old buildings gone for good, history, heritage and memories gone. ..thanks for your interest

[@mrbluesky2050]

[@MrCleebo64]

Does anybody remember the roller skating rink next door to the Hippodrome There was another one near top church together with the four cinemas

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dasdasdatics420]

Why do they build these things then knock them down ?!?!?
Senselessness.

[@Ivan-tf9bo]

Think it's called progress

[@peterpowis4145]

great video thanks! have you ever done drone footage over or along the new dudley tram route that is being built? it would be interesting to see the progress. it is supposed to open in 2024 but i'm not sure that they are on schedule?

[@MrCleebo64]

Thanks I can do it especially the park head viaduct, I filmed that before they started , and yes they are behi👍😁nd

[@peterpowis4145]

@@MrCleebo64 i thought they must be. oh i didnt know park head viaduct was part of the new tram route

[@railgap]

Not quite "start" surely? Or was there always a gaping hole in the back wall with a big pile of rubble?

[@MrCleebo64]

this as it says is just a compilation of the interesting bits start to finish i have videos on from before they start the external demolition
