I was born in Handsworth as were all my children, lived in Douglas Road and Leyton Road, Loved the place really nice place to live until the 70's, pity things have to change, I moved in 1978.
Ha ha great video I grew up in the 70,s in Handsworth Wood and I used to deliver papers around Coopers Rd Cherry Orchard and went to Cherry Orchard Primary so it was really interesting to see the streets where I grew up.
Im enjoying your videos! The house that was renovated in 1625 and then again in 1947, superb! Wait till Martin from Homes Under The Hammer sees this! He’ll wet himself! I hope there’s “stairs up to the bedrooms.”
Nice video, I grew up in Handsworth and hung around with mates in Hunters Rd Villa Cross. Just a shame Handsworth is now associated with drugs, gangs and violence...
I was astounded to see that the Murdoch cottages are still there - they took down the Holte Alms houses and some wonderful old cottages just off lozels road and they always replace them with such crap. Thank you for all your hard work and research. You Brummy treasure.
Thank you for your comment. Always the same lyrics with this Council, demolish masterpieces and "build" ugly cubicles instead. Amazing... I will make more Handsworth Past & Present videos during summertime.
I was born in Hansworth, 1941, lived there till I was 8, but can still remembe some of those impressive houses. Loved the video, but sorry, had to turn off the repetative musak.
OMG just come across the 3 part Handsworth then and now really impressed to see how its all changed. I was born in Handsworth lived there til 2011 then moved to London.
@@citiesthroughmyeyes I have subscribed to your channel and told all my friends and family who live in Handsworth to watch the videos ,keep up the good work.
Do you think it has changed?…I’m born and bred Handsworth but moved to Bath I’m thinking places remain fundamentally the same...it’s people’s perception that change.
Thankyou …Handsworth is the sum of many parts yes there is poverty ……but I now live in one of the wealthiest areas in the country and no we don’t have litter but the poverty of spirituality is the price paid.I loved growing up in Handsworth I miss the craziness.…There is an old saying you can get the girl out of the ghetto, but you can’t get the ghetto out of the girl.💋

Been a massive history buff of my home city and Handsworth, even I learned something new from this. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you learned something in this video. Are you from Handsworth?
Wow I've lived in Handsworth all my life and I didn't know that Old Town Hall cottage was opened to the public... your channel is fascinating!
Thank you 🙂 I really appreciate it the compliment. Take care.

I apologise for the late reply. Handsworth has a worthy history. And yes it sucks that the area is now associated with negativity.
I wasn't sure what Handsworth looks like but I didn't really expect so many interesting buildings.
As someone who lived in Handsworth wood until 2010 don’t let these enchanting pictures fool you. it’s now a slum area .
