@@BlackcountryhistoryhunterBCHH ever since I was a kid I would walk the dog and always go right off the path looking for old bottles and stuff. I love industrial archaeology. I was brought up around Cradley and Blackheath area. We lived just off Waterfall Lane which is a fascinating place for old mines, and workings and old houses. If you ever want to wonder around there I would be honoured join you. Free offer and no pressure to accept. Check the old maps though, so much history hidden around there. Peace.
Absolutely fascinating, thank you. So well informed.
Thnaks so mucjh support means a lot
My one half of my family moved up country as the cottage industry for weaving ended and slowly made there way up to the Black Country from Somerset. They worked in the mines and made nails. Likewise my dads side came down from Glasgow to work in round oak steel works during WW2. As they were metal workers from ship building. We had outside lav with newspaper on a nail lol and spiders.
Great story. Thanks for sharing
I live around there and I’ve often walked past there and never knew the history of here, thanks for the video!! 😀😀😀😀

@@BlackcountryhistoryhunterBCHH I love local history and I’ll be going to have a look around low town very soon, please keep the videos coming as I really love watching them! 😀😀😀
Another great video. You certainly do your homework and know your stuff. Love the idea of finding connections between past objects and people alive today.
Thanks an yes I hope to find a connection but It won't be easy nothing worth while ever is
OMG! In the 1950s, stories of a ferocious family called 'The Chopper Gang' made sure us kids would never venture down there. Mrs Gardner had her shop just there at the entrance to Lowtown. That helmet could be an ARP helmet.
Yes I remember a lady called Val write a book about low town and I think the chopper gang was in it ... Foreign polish where they ??

Thanks Carl next Time you drive past you should pull up an have a goose it's well worth it you never know what your gonna find

Thanks mate appreciate the support
my grand parents and great gran parents were from Lowtown and am fascinated by it.. They were the Edwards family and were relocated to the prefabs in holly hall & the brand new Russells hall estate after the slum scrapage in the late 1940s (I think)
Really thats amazing ill look into it when i go back their for another video if that's ok
@@BlackcountryhistoryhunterBCHH look forward to it.
Another great video, your editing is next level 👌

I'm not sure your brodie helmet is of museum condition, you can get one in mint condition for less than £100, there were over 7 million issued.
It looks like the inner race of a bearing mate but not sure when they were invented.

Bearings are an old tech but it could be 30s I think they been about since 1870s so could be ealry thanks great knowledge mate
