Nice video. Birmingham had character in the 70s and 80s but that's now gone with old sites demolished, new ones built, pedestrianised areas, new tram lines created and the much loved blue and cream livery of the buses that my dad drove that has disappeared.

Then and now videos are my favorite I play them at half speed and pause. I am going to go back through your videos and look for my ancestors places although probably a lot less images than cities. Thanks again.

A great video with wonderful transitions and period sound effects.

Nicely done..needed old photos to recognise my city!!

Very clever and nostalgic. Thank you for this

Fascinating thank you

Excellent animation and transition.

Fantastic 👍

It's like Looking through a Time Warp.

1920's Stephenson Street looked amazing.

Way better than it does now, that's for sure

Great - especially for one who visits from the canals!

Just look at the magnificent building on Stephenson Street at 3.30 and tell me we haven’t gone backwards in architecture 😔

Where is Thomas Shelby???

What Islamic Rule, Birmingham has 1.5 million Citizens of which Muslims only make up a small percentage of that population. Try looking at Manchester.
