Brierley Hill 60's docu Turks Head 1 of 3

here is a personal film of mine from the Turks head Brierley hill mid 1960's (note it is not the building that is there now that used to have the same name).
The film features my late grandfather William Plant (billy plant) in part two of this three part film,
he is shown leaving the pub as someone shouts " dow forget them kidney beans bill".
it shows a fascinating insight into pub culture as it was then and the local pigeon flyer's.
i think this is well worth sharing with anyone who has an interest in our local bygone era
