Bilston carnival 1964

[@BobJHale]

Thanks for posting these videos. I was seven in 1964 and probably at both Bilston and Coseley Carnivals. They are a terrific piece of nostalgia for me.

Hi Joe, The beginning is Wolverhampton Street leading onto High Street. then at 1:38 its High street between Thomson st and Hartshorn St. Then at 2:33 its Mount Pleasant leading onto Wellington rd.
Hope this is of use to you.

What we where sad to see the old town now but maybe one day a generation will have the time we boomers did.
