I think Park Street was pedestrianised between The Bridge and Station Street around the end of August 1975.

Didn't think there was much in it. I remember those blue and cream coloured buses well, used to catch one to school outside the Bradford Pub in Palfrey. Also used to park my motorbike at the then bike park which was the Cenotaph by a large tree and benches. Think Walsall seemed a better place then definitely for driving through and parking. Im not all in favour of total block paved area's.......

Forgot to say I noticed you could no longer turn left into Park Street at this point in time. 00:25 sec That road couldn't have been closed to traffic much before this video..........
