Wolverhampton, around the edges - Midland Memories.

The once great industrial midland town/now city, of Wolverhampton has its hidden charms. On this video its all about around its rural and suburban periphery and through the mists of time,.
Years ago Wolverhampton was in the English county of Staffordshire, until it became part of the West Midlands conurbation in the 1970's. Up until fairly recently it still seemed that the surrounding area consisted mainly of diverse small village communities based on farming the land rather than the heavy engineering associated with the Black Country. Mining also had an impact on the landscape, after all this was close to the epicenter of the Industrial revolution!
There's much history, tradition, local character and pleasant familiar rural scenes to explore by delving into the recent past through these images. Its not all that long ago really in the grand scale of things, just a short trip down Memory Lane and across the 'Seven Cornfields' from 'Penn Common'.
Even if you don't happen to know this area at all, I'm sure you will find the content of this video an entertaining, rather nostalgic and enjoyable aspect of social history.
