I must admit that when you mentioned the £650,000 price tag in West Bromwich I was a bit sceptical, but seeing the abstract swords motif on the gates and those subtle lions on the gate posts I realised that you get what you pay for
Another good one Phil, just reminded me I lived in Bratt street for about 6 months in about 87. I'd forgotten all about it because I moved around a fair bit. I'd gone from Wednesbury to Bilston to Wednesbury then Bratt street then back to Wednesbury before I moved away from the area.
Sandwell rd was the entrance to the council yard . Joinery. Upvc major building works gas and plumbing and the stores there was no rd on the side just the council yards . Where the WBBS is now was the Dunhill buildings part of the council yard 😊 I spent 25 yrs in the place 😊😊
Hi Phil i was interested to see were all the old pubs were and all the big changes around that area of west Bromwich it was nice to see the Sun Garage is still there I'm sure they had some petrol pumps in the seventys next to the garage all the best Paul
I think if I was going to spend 650K on a house, I would buy one somewhere else in a bit of countryside. Although this house seems to have it all going on inside, it's not on a very big plot so I couldn't see an investor buying it. It's interesting that you can buy a house in Tywyn Southern Gwynedd right next to the sea (a place we visit often) quite a bit cheaper than you could in Bilston or Tipton. There's a trend where we live near Walsall for families to buy up small houses or bungalows then partly demolish them keeping some walls intact so as to keep to agreed planning permission and building regs and then turn them into massive 5 or 6 bedroom houses. There's one such house on the edge of our estate that used to be a lovely little 2 bed bungalow, it's now a massive 6 bed house painted white.I don't think planning permission should have been given as it's just a blight on the landscape. Great vid mate, you keep finding these streets that I've forgotten about or never knew of, thanks Phil.
Appreciate that TS, maybe its the 5 bathrooms that would swing it for a potential buyer!!! It does seem a very inflated asking price for the location, although the area does have some of the finest barbers in the Black Country, which may also be a good selling factor
I would give them 65 quid f they are interested. What a mess.... Been watching the progress of this one and others over the last couple of years. Cowboys and Indians come to mind.

When we were rockers we used to go to the old crown, had many a good night there
Great place was the old crown, the building is still there but the soul has gone. many thanks
I was a Biker in the seventys we liked a pub called the cabin on Friar Park all the best Paul

Thanks TPC, I wouldnt remember the set up prior to 1970, but old maps do show a very, very different area to what we have now. Many thanks for that

Yes they did, Forgot to show the old petrol garage sign. Many thanks
Just had a 'nosey' on Rightmove, seems like a HMO ?? not a blade of grass to be seen 😢🥀🌻Thanks Phil' another interesting walk/chat.👍
I tend to agree, an HMO does seem the obvious, many thanks
It'll make more money as an HMO for professionals.
Good location for the gym, shops and transport.
Good call MrL, its a possibility

@@awalkwithphil That could be a game changer for me Phil if I wasn't bald.
I remember the murder video looking forward to the update
Me too 😉
I think it was the first Phil vid i saw.
When are you going to be showing more houses with christmas lights
Thanks Daniel, they are all coming down the track, if you've subscribed then i'll keep ya posted

Lots of bathrooms lol..I wouldn’t buy a house in a location like that, not for me but others may not mind. Shame we can’t see the facade.
😊
How many bathrooms does one need??
I get the convenience factor but location way too busy for a house of that price in my opinion!
I don't think it even has a garden, just a yard to relax in whilst listening to the cars, vans and lorries
£650k for West Brom?
😂😂🤣🤣 best of luck with that.
Same here Alex
Good Luck To Them selling that, Not exactly in a nice area
True that
