@tonupjohnny

The original ii 8mm cine film, so not good quality to start off with.

Was transferred to VHS video tape in 1980's then from VHS tape to computer some years ago.

Amazing video, most of what is captured in the video is now sadly gone. I remember the old tower block near the roundabout at the timber yard.

Is the start the road where the fountain pub is ?

The bus is traveling towards the level crossing.

The bus is starting, in the video, from the Dudley end (canal bridge) of Owen Street.
