Wow great to see the Gaumont still standing.. I went there many times then used to dash into the clock pub next to it to catch last orders.. The town pubs shut at 10.30 pm back then
wow...that's what it used to be like wiked!! live less than 2 mins away... look at them ole cars whooohooo!! thanks for this short film - you should feel very proud of your self ole chap.
Born and bred in tettenhall in 1954 i remember all this its great to see it all on film instead of just pics,Was that cornwall rd in film and do we know who the family were with the dog? Thanks anyway great stuff do you have any more?.
I wonder what/where the building work was at 1:27? My first thought was the demolition of the Tettenhall Woodhouse, but that was late '60's if I remember correctly.
Fabulous footage! Thanks for sharing, really made my day sitting here in Brisbane remembering 'town' as it was in my youth 🙂
The Wolverhampton i loved and grew up in! x.
I remember the trolley buses back then. Thanks for sharing.!

Thanks, Edward! Wolverhampton was the ideal place for a football-mad schoolboy to be brought up in during the fifties.
Ah the Queens ballroom... Memories
We need a longer version.. A full video
Thanks for sharing, love this clip. To think 25 yrs on I was still using the same film format you were and making my films.

I found it easier to watch after I muted the music and changed the speed to 0.75.
Looks very peaceful no knife crimes n guns like now how sad
Excellent. What was the building at the end of the film with Queens written on the top?
it was the Queens Ballroom isn't it still there
Lloyds Bank have since taken it over. The premises are still there, but it's now Lloyds Bank. I go in there frequently.
@@11carbuff19572011 I've had a look at photos on the net of it, but it doesn't look like the current Lloyds Bank.
Edward Smith... So you survived the sinking then? Lol
It must have been 1959 or later the Ford 105e came out in 1959
@golftango1Glad you liked it .Eddy
Some things don't change I bet the beer isn't 7p a pint??????
