Dear gotti786, Handsworth usd to have a great community spirit esp. in the 70s and early 80s (despite the odd mugging and the occasional riot),sad to hear of crack destroying the place and the younger generation.
The music of that time and the fashions were just brilliant.
I used to walk from my Moms in Newtown to my Grans in Aston Six Ways as a kid, remember seeing the Afros and hearing the music, the old cars (well they wernt so old back then!). Just a great period of time.
handsworth was a very good place to live in before the government threw the crack cocaine into the ghetto destroyed a generation

Great video, I lived in Handsworth in the 70's and have many fond memories.
Handsworth is not as bad as people make out.
