    Great video. The old building along the canal in Langley was the band building in the 80s/90s. Not sure if that was it's traditional usage but a lot of times when I was a kid you could hear the Langley Band practicing their music from the park behind it.

    Hi mate love your videos. I use to hang out on that railway bridge, to the left of that bridge is an old arm next to the football pitch and the bridge. I also used to work at the cement plant next to the bridge, keep up the good work

    I can't help but think that pulling down good old buildings and replacing them with the modern form of housing is a great mistake because the modern way of building is very inferior to some of these wonderful old red brick buildings.
