A drive from Old Hill to Brickhouse Estate 1987

Extended version in original format driving from Old Hill Cross up Highgate street over the canal bridge at the top of Garratts Lane then up Harvest Road into Brickhouse.
Apologies for the quality but it was the 80's and my camera was massive and weighed half a ton!

I used to walk up there to Rowley Regis College 1981. Great days. Solid people.

Wow what a great video!! I lived in Old Hill, live over in Worcestershire now. Great seeing the old cars and vans on the road as well!

Your ahead of your time filming this in 1987 well done 👏

I have old postcards of this place, and at least one funeral announcement from Rowley, sent to the US from relatives there. Thank you for sharing. This means so much to us!

Wow. My inlaws love on this road. Who'd have thunk it, 30 years later I'd be driving up and down there every day.

Thank you for this video, very good quality for a personal camera from 1987. I didn't recognise much until the drive and realised that's exactly where I work, not much has changed since then but you can tell how different it is. Love videos like these.

I remember Baby Bargains. I'd have loved to see an old view of my house

[@pmas27]

Nice to see no speed humps, no speed cameras and hardly a pot hole in sight, I just wonder why you took the video? Just trying out your new camera or new motor maybe or a budding local historian?

[@JaredWhittingham]

Archive footage always fascinated me so I thought I would take some of my own :)

[@gdzb]

Thanks for the video, I remember your name , did you go to Temple Meadow?

[@aber21]

Could you do a video what it looks like now?

[@Fatality-Reaper]

It’s not good. Foreigners ruined it.
