Barrett good and sweet memories of your childhood 👍👏❤️👨👨👦👦🌻🙏
It is nice and nostalgic everytime you walk down memory lane
A wise man always remember one's root!
Waw! You're in the UK, this is a surprise. Grey skies again. I too was raised in the UK and when you see the old places again they seem so empty because we remember all the things that were going on, i still remember the home phone number and also playing in the streets until late, great memories. That was fun going back to your early years with you 😃👍
This was filmed in 2023.
@@syncmaster915n it was? It just showed up in my feed so I thought it was new, thanks for letting me know 👍
@@JohnnysCafe_new upload but yes, shot in 2023, says so in the description
@@AmelieZh yes thanks, I explained my misunderstanding in message above.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of your hometown.
Absolutely love this, I think we all have similar nostalgia inside of us❤
This is a lovely trip down your memory lane. Thanks for sharing. The street you grew up on looks like those in Danny Boyle's movies. Some things seem to never change, like that Neptune Fish Bar, but there is a Tattoo Art shop next door now, which would have been taboo when your father bought fish & chips back then. And look at you, a world traveller living in Shenzhen, the most modern high tech city in the world.
so much nice memories from Childhood, I can totally understand why Lee is so excited when he sees all the things from his hometown
It's really good memories to be back to childhood life! Not all people are so lucky to visit the old days with vivid reflection. Lee, you were born in such a peaceful and nice place, it seems not much has been changed here. Your video recalls me of the song 'Those were the days', so much happiness bring back to you!
nice fish and chips yum
Nice walk down the memory lane!
Thanks for showing us your home. It's beautiful 😍
Wow! Your hometown is so awesome, and full of your sweet memories. That's wonderful to walk in your childhood !!!Thank you so much for sharing the story.💯
It's crazy how much of the UK looks the same. It could be from my town. I've got so many similar memories. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Nostalgia great reminiscences and memories. Wonderful!!!
Hi Lee, thanks for bringing back the old memories. I was studying in London in the early 1990s and travelled around frequently. Buildings, houses and roads, still look the same. And Sainsbury's and Safeway.are still there.
Guten Morgen aus Hamburg 🇩🇪
Good to see your hometown. It is beautiful and missed for you.
Back to childhood memories
You have just described what used to be the English experience growing up! I'm 36 but so many similarities with things like playing out on the streets, knowing your phone number, infant school being next to junior school and going for the half day to get used to it etc.... I don't envy kids growing up in the UK now....
thanks for sharing. cheers.
Thank you! Cheers!
I really like this video. When one gets older, childhood memories are always beautiful.
What a lovely walk down memory lane Lee… thank you so much for sharing! What a happy childhood you had.
life is a story , nice to hear from u~ love from china
nice and relaxing, enjoy home.
It's nice to see a positive look around somewhere in England. Most video's just go for the shock value of bad areas or places overran with immigrants
Wow! Enjoy family time😊
Glad to see your hometown.
My old primary school is now a block of apartments - they knocked down the beautiful Victorian building. 😳. Also the secondary school has been demolished and rebuilt from scratch. Time flies.
Welcome back home! ; )
Play Bee Gees Melody Fair as you drive through the neighbourhood.
How nice memories 😊
Have a good time to both of you 👍
Love this
A beautiful childhood memory for life time.
It is always a nice feeling to revisit places where one grew up. Many fond memories and nostalgias. Hope to see more of this!
Very interesting. Could tell you were happy to be back where great memories were made 👌
cool ~ good to know.
beautiful town
Love it
Great sharing.
Always an excitement to be back to one's childhood, and a lot of regrets too. Wu (things) shi (remain) ren (people) fei (change) in Chinese.
Lovely hometown, enjoy the hometown staying.
Those houses look familiar to me again. My last visit to UK was more than twenty years already. Was living and studying there for few years. I had my first fish and chip (authentic) there.
I enjoyed this video tremendously. Have a great time back home.
Thank you!
That was fun walking down memory lane, Lee. 😄
Big respect to you Lee & people who still respect family values 👏
Neat and nice neighborhood
Nice n' peaceful town.
Thanks for sharing!
Tks for sharing
Hi Lee, blimey a blast from the past there , I even saw our old house 😂 it looks better than I remember . Did you see MAD ALAN in the park ? Cheers Mike .
Haha , no mad Allen. I was really surprised just how nice Barnford park was, and was surprised that Joes newsagents was turned back into a house.
Beautiful! 😆😘
Enjoyed this one. I'm from down the road and was at that Sainsburys the other day.
Very interesting video. Good old British architecture. Not like anywhere else
Good to see your home town. Good to see the U.K.
Thanks 👍
a nice and peaceful place
Lee good to see you happy and healthy. What a great memory you have. You are a hard working boy. When are you going back to china?
quaint and beautiful
is good to took about your childhood and memories .😀.
Very nice place! Having grown up in the countryside in China, I like places with trees and vefeyations.
很美的小镇
漂亮又充满回忆的地方👍
Gloomy weather, rising cost of living, the future is depressing.
❤❤❤
uk hasn't changed much, even windows and roads are painted lines. unlike china, if you go away for 6 months, when you go back, you can't recognise it.. china changes are faster than fast. I lived in london and other parts of uk for 36 years... i still like to visit it.
I love fish and chips
Thanks for sharing this. It reminds me of my time in Rochdale, Lancs., where I worked as a bus conductor for 2 months in the autumn of 1973 (for SELNEC Northern). I really liked the place. It's amazing how similar English towns look. You forgot to mention which town this is.?? -- OK, I guess it's Oldbury.
It is indeed Oldbiry.
I got into an argument with some British ppl about the summer time sunset. When I said it doesn't get dark until around 9-10pm, they pushed back and said I was lying. I've lived here all my life, so I have no idea what these ppl were smoking.
No where feels more like home!
Looks like suburban areas of Canada and the US too! :-)
👍👍👍
Barret speaking about fish and chips, you almost slobber. Hahahaha
always cloudy😂
Langley. We’re practically local neighbours from many years ago.
Wow, small world.
Looks so depressing in UK. Hardly anyone around.
Dear Mr Barrett you represent the best of the english someone from a bygone age where the people in England were kinder, unassuming, journalists then were more objective, it was a more open society willing to consider different perspectives and in the main people then were more gracious. That time is long gone now. Thanks for sharing this I too have fond memories of England from that time.😊
Thank you so very much...
😍
嗨老兄，来自深圳的爱
UK weather
actually very mild, similar as climate in Shangdong province.
You deserve to have a trip to visit your family because you have been working hard in China.
Houses like the first one you grew up in nowadays in south London are around £800,000!
Yes, it crazy that my parents only paid around 2,000 pounds.
Memory lane
So few people on the streets
Looks like the houses on Coronation Street. Very surprising that almost every household has a rooftop aerials for their TV broadcast which means cable is not a huge thing in this area.
They’ve probably been there for years, not worth paying to take the aerial down.
@@jasonmugridge It's actually more recommendable to have OTA than cable these days especially with most Britons experiencing austerity. With an OTA setup you get HD and even 4K signals while you get sub HD resolutions with cable. From the very directional design of those Yagi UHF antennas you can tell this working class town is pretty far away from the transmitter tower and they are in a working class neighborhood.
Everything is almost the same!

Hiya - is this Oldbury near Wolverhampton?
Indeed it is...
Can't believe you have to wear a jacket in May, LOL.
Yeah, actually it was May 2023, but still quite cool at that time.
🙂🙏👍👍🙏🙂
Nice walk down the memory lane! What city is this?
It's a town, Oldbury, near to Birmingham.
Nice. Milk round, paper round, good old days.
Long time no see. Nice to see you back home after such a long time. Welcome back! Can still remember that you used to run around in the neighbourhood. Now you've all grown up and got your kid.
UK doesnt have daylight savings?
Blummy Hull , Clean Street like in China
fish and chip = British Favorite dish. not sure
A British classic indeed, but quite expensive these days.
I looked up Barnford Park Oldbury and Langley, and found they were not far from Birmingham, only a few km away. Is Langley a country town or is it a suburb of Birmingham?
Yup, fish and chips on Fridays, that's an old British tradition. To be tasty, they ought to be wrapped in newspapers !!
I used to live in Harborne not far from these places!! But I hardly visit Oldbury. Thanks for showing your hometown!! Very interesting place!!
Yes, very close to Birmingham., Oldbury is classified as a town, Langley is smaller. They actually are part of the county of "West midlands"
My phone number also ends with 2839, lol!
Wow.. small world indeed.
Looking healthy these days.
Where's the Jaguar?
You are from Oldbury.
Indeed I am
Sorry for asking, what part of uk is here?
It's a place called Oldbiry, near to Birmingham.
