1990s Birmingham high street, shoppers, buses
I really miss these days old days
I was born in 69 in Redditch, and I _loved_ going in to town as a child. Can't explain it, but town was almost _magical_ to me.. When I left school I used to go quite often with my mates just to hang around. I moved to London when I was 21 and it seems nothing compares to the childhood memories of the Bull Ring.
I visit the Midlands often to see family in Redditch and Brum, but the Bull Ring just isn't the same anymore, it's lost its character and charm.
Looking back with the eyes of an adult It probably _was_ a bit of a dump, but still it had a charm that I absolutely adored.
I'm probably mad (people tell me I am) but back in the 70's being in the Bull Ring was like being in the Wombles underground lair, sort of disjointed and kitch.. crazy I know..
I really miss those days.
Born in 71. Loved the city and Bullring when I was a kid/teenager. Great memories and great city (past tense).
Chokes me to
Watch these kinda videos. Back when my home city had a soul
May our city RIP. Once was
Those West Midlands Travel buses take me back years.
Couldn't wait to move away but was good around this time
Like many other comments I was a 90s child growing up in Birmingham was a real treat my parents driving into town used to park Albert Street 50p for two hours visit toys r us virgin megastore central library
It’s how I remember it , and the buses you could sit next to the heaters in winter
My relatives moved to Exeter from Birmingham. It wasn't the place they first knew anymore.
It had character back then now it's just the pits!
Tbf the New Bull Ring is a big improvement, can only imagine how bad it would be with the original 1960s bull ring centre today.
ElementsMMA times were always going to change heading into the 21st century
Totally disagree, in those days Birmingham was full of 1960's concrete buildings and remains of slums and bomb damage from the 1940's, Now Birmingham is a bright beautiful modern City after being rebuilt for around the third time, even the New Bullring and Grand Central are far superior to the 1960's Bullring and 1970's Palisades shopping Centres, take it from me I lived through the upheaval of Birmingham's rebuild for 65 years, and as a proud Brummie I prefer the new Birmingham as it is now.
😢😢😢 good old days
Thanks for loading this clip. I'm from stirchley originally but hung around town a lot. Great memories
Sell oak way
This world does not exist any more. This is the closest thing to a time machine you'll ever get folks and its pretty darn close too. I wonder though what the exact year in the 90s this was filmed.
Thanks for this upload, not much of old Brum on youtube
I agree it had character back then and yes it’s now the pits I totally agree. They should have left it alone !
why, take it from me as a veteran Brummie, although the City looked Modern in the 70's it soon started to age, it now after a lot of rebuilding is fantastic.
@@peterwilliamallen1063 They should have left it alone before the 70's . The old,old library was amazing and beautiful.
@@Heaven-dy9lj The as you put it" The Old Old Library was a neglected eye sore in the way of developement of the area arround the Town Hall and the A38 Great Charles street Queens way tunnel developement, even it's replacement decayed and was demolished and replaced by the present Library for Birmingham the largest Municiple Library in the UK
@@peterwilliamallen1063 Just because something is in ruin, does not automatically mean to demolish it. It was aesthetically beautiful. Prague for instance does not go around knocking buildings that are decrepit and in ruin, it restores them, then decades later restores them again.
A lot more is lost than gained by knocking beautiful buildings down that need major renovation, save investors and building contractors.
@@Heaven-dy9lj There is a big difference between the magnificent old buildings in places like Prague and Switzerland to some of the ugly buildings that Birmingham had up to the late 60's which were not built very well, affected by WW2 bombing and were neglected by previouse City Concils, the old Central Library was run down, neglected and in the way of the Paradice Circus Developement which required a latge hole dug in this area so the Great Charles Street Queenswy tunnel could be constructed plus this area as yet again been redeveloped
I'm pretty sure at 0:03 if you walked down those steps, on the right was a t shirt shop that was one of the best for heavy metal band t shirts at the time. I still have a couple from there I bought back in 1990! Good days 🙂🤘
Birmingham, the birthplace of heavy metal -Priest, Sabbath, Death etc...
Much better back then
Most of the things in this clip look exactly the same now.
The Broad Street lamposts.
The ‘57’ - that was my bus into town. Happy days 🤣
That was a tease to short lol I don't think buses can run in any of them places now
Played us.
Ah the old West Midlands buses
Nice back then now full of our imported violent friends
90's was when I spent my time in the city largely shopping drinking clubbing and general skull duggery
It looks shit but also cleaner. The buildings are awful due to Birmingham City Council destroying nearly everything nice.
I can't decide if today is any better though.
Nice footage of my hometown of Birmingham, however what is that mural at 0:52?
Was a beautiful city back then. Development has ruined it no atmosphere and has no sole so sad 😢
1995+
The 20th century
looks awful compared to nowadays... got so much more character now
Fool
I totally agree with you.
What I meant I totally agree with notmyles
@@bombcaryah No I am not, so what is a Chav, I haven't seen any in Birmingham in my life and I live in a normal 1930's built semi detached house in a outskirts suburb of Birmingham, where do you live in a cave.
