Wow this one takes me back Joseline ! Used to play snooker in that hall 50 years ago ! Amazed it’s still there ! I remember the Mc Donald’s at the end of your video used to be The Yew Tree Pub ! Bordesley green Rd still looks pretty run down ! That has’nt changed !
I used to take the 97 bus towards Kitts Green (where I used to live years ago). I only had a bus experience of Bordesley Green . So it was interesting to walk along it this time.
Looks like quite a rough and ready part of Birmingham with some decent takeaways! Here's a question for you Joseline, have you ever made a cameo appearance in any of your videos. Great to hear your Brummie voice when you said Hello!
Hello Richard Pearce, no I never appeared in my own videos. The day will come eventually but for now I like standing behind the camera and film people, buildings and places. "Brummie voice" 😄😂 Really? I'll take that as a compliment. Lol.
@zayne Mal Birmingham isn't ALL rough, there are some really nice areas to live in the suburbs if you care to look hard enough, maybe the segregation is in your mind, People with lots of money live in the best parts, people with an average income live in middle upper class parts, people with lower incomes live in the working class areas. Many people from.lower income areas find ways to mobilize themselves through social classes and go to live in.the best parts of any city anywhere in the world, it's down to education, knowledge , motivation, perseverance and eventual success.
@@musiclover5023 because compared to where I live now there is a night and day difference, Bordesley Green is a inner city area with a lot of really good people but if you took the time to do a bit of research you’d see that it’s one of the poorest areas of the city, and in my opinion from living there for more than 25 years I feel like the local government (city council) don’t really care about the state of the area and don’t invest enough money into improving the community for the residents.
@@musiclover5023 well if you are from the area you know what I’m talking about? Unfortunately the place is rife with drugs and users, end of discussion.
@@ChronicCraftsman No, I said I used to eat there, I did not say I am from there, you dont have to be a resident to eat at a local eat house, I know business people in.the area that's all.
The council barrow men clean there every day.The people that live there just throw rubbish on the street .Sparkhill .Smallheath.Handsworth.Go see for yourself
Out of all the big cities especially Leeds or Bristol racism in Birmingham is very low in Leeds it was brutal and Bristol not sure about nowadays but both them cities in particular were very racist I live in Birmingham and racism has never been a big issue to my mind
Hi Joseline, how are you, ? It has to be said, people say the inner city is run down and depressed but I see a lot of very nice expensive cars in your videos, Lol
@@ChronicCraftsman Not strictly true, there are a lot of Asian business owners in.the area , I used to eat at restaurants in the area, so your "drug money" crap won't wash it. Always the same old nonsense when people have success, others assume it just has to be drug money or some kind of criminal activity. So sad !
@@musiclover5023 So because you eat in a few restaurants in the area you think that you know more about the place than someone who lived there for over 25 years and has spent another 15 years visiting weekly? I know that there is a lot of really hard working legit and religious people in the area, but I know for a fact that the area is the main hub for heroin for the wider region and generates ridiculous amounts of money which in turn gets invested into legit businesses to be washed, and in turn the community as a whole do benefit from it but there are some people who end up suffering terribly also.
@@ChronicCraftsman I used to eat in the area, I don't anymore as I moved away from Birmingham, my point is that because of the drug scene the assumption seems to be that everyone in.the area with a business is "fronting" drugs. That's wrong 🤣! Lol 😆
My Gran.lived B.Green East..(start of East field Rd...in the 30s she had a shop in the area) every weds.was a visit with mum..not been near for probably 50yrs think.there was a bowling green at the Broadway where we'd get the 28 home.
The 28 stills runs around that way, It starts at the back of the hospital and goes to erdington, I grew up round the corner from your Nan on foxwell road, I moved from there about 25 years ago but still go back every now and again to visit a old friend.
Interesting video. Litter is a total shambles council should be taken to court for it.
Council basically non existent they dont even pick up the paid commercial dumpsters
Romanians!

It was The Broadway pub, mate. The Yew Tree is in Yardley, on Church road.
Edit: Just saw your later comment, lol.
And then the Pelham pub was down the road, that’s gone too, and the Richmond pub has gone too.

That’s where I grew up, so glad I made it out of there.
Why are you glad you made it out of there 😹 ?

Amazing thanks for sharing 👍
Great video. Just recently subscribed and I'm enjoying all of them
Thank you for subscribing to my channel and watching my videos. I really appreciate that.
Yay, glad you're back! Hope you are well x
Hey Isha, yes I am good. What about you? Nice to hear from you again 🙂
@@citiesthroughmyeyes I'm good, love the latest video in Bordsley Green. Love the shops and takeaways great value for money. Thanks for replying 😀

You need to get/turn on optical image stabilisation to get rid of the judder.
Disgusted they never asked us
I like the effect of head bobbing ^^ it's a simulation of walking :D BUT.. omg.. why are the streets so dirty? :(
Hello M Something, thanks for watching. Bordesley Green is not even the worst. I filmed areas where you would think the Council gave up on them.
It's the hood
If the bins are overflowing then that's the council's fault. If the streets are littered that's people who are the problem unfortunately
Birmingham and West Midlands has a lot of segregation and racism issues and multiculturalism doesn't work in that city or region.
I live in this particular area so clearly your comment is a total
Utterance of BOLLO^*KS.

Hello MusicLover, I am fine, what about you? I've noticed too. Tomorrow, you will see one expensive car at the beginning of my video 🙂 Lol.
A lot of drug money in the area, I grew up around there and have still got friends around there.

Correction ! That was The Broadway Pub not The Yew Tree ! 50 years got bit mixed up with pubs !
I remember when it was the Broadway pub, and there was a bingo just past the hospital called the Ritz on the corner of little Bromwich road.
Brilliant video excellent quality lol I live on Churchill Road😂😂
Thank you for watching Adnan M 🙂
