This was my home town as a boy and teenager. Left in 1971. Not the same now. My father worked at the Chad Valley for over 50 year. I notice the old Majestic dance hall. My dad said it was called the Palais Glide in the 1930's and he used to dance there. Can anyone rember it. I used to dance at Terry Heaths Town House. We saw some brill live acts including Geno Washington and other Soul acts. Wonderful days😊
Brought a tear to my eye when I watched this video. Such a shame that Wellington is now a shadow of what it used to be. Thanks Dennis for uploading this video. Nice music too.
What a trip down memory lane l regonised the Midland Red conductres standing in the door of the bus, l use to dread getting on the bus when she was on coming home from school she was a right battle axe she lol😂. Wellington looked far much nicer in the past than it is today.
Hi Dennis my dad worked for wrekin roadways a heavy haulage firm on holy head road ketley on you video u have a picture of a wyns lorry with large load we can’t picture where it is in wellington do you know thanks
The town centre has just killed the market and all surrounding shops, really a shame to see such a historic area be annihilated by a giant waste of money which shouldn’t have been built
Thanks for this.used to go to Terry Heaths and Forest Glen

Can't help thinking the progress of Wellington spoiled it for me.
