A walk to Oldbury - exploring the black country

I walk to Oldbury in the black country via the titford canal to look back at old photos and old industry that was nearby and along the canal section , ham baker , Albright and Wilson and much more it's interesting to see how much industry was along here and how the canal has changed today .

Great tour mate. I used to ride that part of the canal on my way home from tipton. I always loved the maltings buildings.

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.

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.

[@MidlandsOutdoors]
