A great walk from the bumble hole to merry hell and back, think it’s about 9 miles in total. 👌

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

Thank you I recon there's more interesting history behind the bouncing bomb tbh I did try and find the factory photos but couldn't find much

@turbostream7925 8 месяцев назад

Hi Drew I think the rain gave your story an atmosphere…..the times I called into Round oak steel works…. Selling safety equipment in the early 70’s🙄 Didn’t know about the bouncin bomb either 😎👌🏽

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

I enjoyed filming in the rain tbh I bet it was cool seeing the steel works tho bet you have some great memories of it tho shame it's gone bet you remember merry hill farm pretty well then another piece we have lost . Interesting about the bouncing bomb I tried to find some photos of grazebrook iron works but didn't see any might be some lurking somewhere tho in the archives

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

Cheers bud lovely canal isn't it I would have loved to see the steel works tho before it was demolished knowing me I would have been round it myself looked easy to walk in back then 🤣🤣 out all the canals the n1 stretch is my favourite up to blowers green

Great video so far i remember the factory before it was demolished in a derelict state

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

I bet it was amazing to see tho can imagine the canal was much more better back then with all the industrial stuff

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

Thank you 😁 enjoyed filming this one to start off the year one my favourite canal sections

@yamyam_in_jersey 8 месяцев назад

Great videos I used to live in Tipton and worked at the Waterfront 30+ years ago I think they can’t build on the large land you mentioned as the mines under ground

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

Thanks bud I'm guessing so tbh I should have got the old os maps up to check mines I know sometimes if the land is so polluted from old industrial sites they don't build on them for many years . If you go down a certain road up brierley hill you can get to back of there you can see the old lights bit closer up

@barrycuff4048 8 месяцев назад

Dedicated to the cause 👍 remember skin is waterproof 😉

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

🤣🤣 I was soaked heading to netherton as my brolly wouldn't open up jammed luckily I got back in time camera was soaking wet but ok

@warthunder_spitfire2550 8 месяцев назад

Can you go to the lutley gutter and see the history behind it ?

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

Can definitely plan a video out for that soon thanks for recommending that

@AngloSaxon449 7 месяцев назад

Merry hill is an eyesore, I hate the place

@MidlandsOutdoors 7 месяцев назад

I would have loved to have seen it before the shopping center in my opinion the old land would be better than what it is now lost a bit of a landscape . Can imagine merryhill farm had a lot of history behind it

@AngloSaxon449 7 месяцев назад

@@MidlandsOutdoors agree with you there👍, my grandad worked at round oak steel on the furnaces as a foreman bricklayer
