thank you drew it will be 51 years since i left the midlands in june i was born in oldhill went to school at britannia boys school 1961 to 1965 i have not been back for 35 years now look forward to the next video
Thank you glad you enjoyed this one it's a great area and by doing these videos it shows new locations to visit which is really cool mad to think how much is around tbh
My partner lives in tividale and goes a lot to Rowley hills and I also used to live there and had family in lion farm and worked in Oldbury,brings back good memories, me and my family go many,many generations back in the black country eara and proud to be from the black country 👍
Thanks for sharing this nice to see family generations from that area . Could imagine Rowley was way different back in older generation with all the mines and factorys
Nice vid bud. Great to go back to see where your family are from too. I always pass by my nans old house when im in York remembering my childhood visits before she moved to Birmingham in 1979.
Thanks bud enjoyed filming this one nice to revisit family roots from time to time I'll do another video on Rowley village a bit I didn't cover more history down there
I attended Britannia School just down the road from that church, that would have been 1972-78. I used to buy a nice bag of chips from the chip shop further down the road towards the park.
@@drewsoutdooradventures01 Not really, I left the area in 1980 and the country in 1984! Britannia was a good school back then, it certainly provided a good foundation for my further education thanks to several outstanding teachers.
