Drive into Walsall Town Centre - October 2009

[cena409]

at 2:41 it's hard to belive that collage is now a tesco, when my school closes when i leave it is becoming a tesco express

[Bevoin1970]

@cena409 These massive supermarkets are taking over slow but sure. I spent 5 years at that college, I look now and can't believe how its all changed so much.

seems a bit pointless just driving round walsall, then again thats just me cos i live in walsall

[Bevoin1970]

@annon707 I can see you must know Walsall by your videos, & its not so pointless as you may think. It may appear that I was driving randomly around the town, in fact I was on a job and know Walsall very well, I spent 5 years at college there, hence my reason for filming an ordinary day in town as it happened in real time.

Since this film was made, look at the view from 2:42 now no longer there, completely changed - 4:00 onwards buses can drive the other way today, again all changed.

Haha.. One of our trucks caught on Youtube (Langdons). That would've been me if I hadn't moved onto the night shift as I used to "do Walsall".

What sort of camera do you use for these videos? I recently bought a camera myself. Once I learn how to use it, perhaps I'll post some videos of where I live in Arizona and California.

[Bevoin1970]

@BellumSacrumBellum28 I use a HD Panasonic camcorder, best thing I ever bought... I love it !! :-)

You should do that, its all a big learning curve and a bit of fun. I'd be interested in seeing where you live and whats its like. Thats all part of the fun.

Thanks

[BellumSacrumBellum28]

Another very nice video. Have you lived in this Walsall all your life? I only just happened upon it yesterday on these videos.

[Bevoin1970]

@BellumSacrumBellum28 Yes I've been around this part of the world seems like forever.. :-)

[Bevoin1970]

Dont be fooled..!! Least not on camera... ha ha Thanks anyway. :-)

[pwalpar]

Good video, Couldnt get the last half to load do yall have any straight roads there LOL 5*

[Bevoin1970]

Now you can see why european trucks don't have tractor units and trailers as long as you Guys do in America.. ha ha. We have some seriously tight streets and roads over here. The only guaranteed straightish roads would be the motorways and they have slow curves.. ha ha

[truckernacion]

Beautiful girls by that city.

Great video as always friend.

Thanks for the ride, I got to drive past where I work!

[Bevoin1970]

I delivered there once at the rear and blocked off the entrance to the underground car park, I had some dirty looks that morning.. ha ha

[1958IanM]

The last time I went through Walsall town centre there were trolleybuses! Blue I think. That would have been late 60's in the back of my dads car on our way to Bloxwich.

God I feel old.

[Bevoin1970]

That makes two of us.. ha ha. I too remember blue trolly buses. Our mom used to get her hair done in Leamore near the Rosum. We caught the trolly bus and got off outside the hair dressers. I can still see the conductor changing the poles over or whatever it was they did...

[TK42138]

Was the van fully loaded when you filmed this?

[Bevoin1970]

No quite empty at this point, even my sandwiches had all gone... :-))

[SnSbikeemporium]

well you can tell its walsall as soon as you have to bounce over non stop speed bumps just to get anywhere!!

I miss being able to loop round the ABC cinema and tazz back up wolvo road it was a nice little racetrack except for the diesel spills off the bus station lol! Remember batting round there showing off to the crowd waiting for "Silver Dream Racer" LOL!

[Bevoin1970]

Yes remember it well. LOL. We've seen a few changes take place around here over the years, no where near as much fun to drive through these days... :-((

[togreektown]
