ALL ABOVE THE CIRCLE, FAREWELL TRIBUTE 1964 - 2024
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 місяці тому
Opened by Tony Blackburn in 1964 The Kingstanding Circle shopping centre holds many memories for many people. But with no investment for 60 years it's time to go. Change is good. Please note, I am not sponsored by Lidl in any way, I have approached them for some form of sponsorship, as I am basically advertising for them for free, but they have not got back to me as yet, I doubt if they will.
FULL CIRCLE, IT'S ALL GONE ! 1964 - 2024

That's it for the shopping centre now, the last bit fell today... Opened by Tony Blackburn in 1964 (Radio DJ). Interesting fact, When the land was donated to Birmingham council it was on the condition there would always be a public house on the site. So I wonder where the pub will be situated now ?
NEARLY FULL CIRCLE !

That's it, it's nearly all gone apart from the pub. Won't be long before it's just history.
A CIRCLE OF RUBBLE

The demolition is about 2/3 complete, I think they will leave the remains of the pub till last as it's acting as a wall at the moment. It's moving quite fast now so stay tuned... I think the story that they had pulled out is just a 'Lidl' rumour ..

    Amazing! What a difference, kingstanding hasn't looked like that for a while. Wandering why they have left the ramp up? 😮 Thanks for posting these videos up, it's so cool to see the changes

    My family is from kingstanding/Sutton Coldfield. I went into the Kingstanding Pub once years ago and it was a complete dump filled with unsavory characters. I never went back, went to the Queslett, Parson and Clerk or Deers Leap instead

    I moved away from Kingstanding about 15 years ago. I have very fond memories of the area. I still go back to visit family and friends, but I hardly recognise the place anymore. The unique businesses and shops have all gone, and the family-friendly atmosphere has died, too. Sad times.

      Thank you for your comment sir, but I must let everyone know I am not sponsored by Lidl in any form or way, I am documenting this historic event voluntarily for the benefit of everyone to enjoy. And yes you are right, as I have said in many of these video's , the traffic will increase, but then , it's doing that anyway.
