Videos of Oldbury

Post by BC Wench »

Hi All,

Just had to pass this web site on which my friend has just passed on to me historyofoldbury.co.uk (no www) There are 3 videos taken in the 1940s and they are absolutely beautiful. Enjoy

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
