Interesting place to visit. Captures the feel of those times. Very nostalgic, just shows how hard life was back then, but there is something quaint and endearing about the shops and streets somehow. Definitely worth a visit.
Hi there. It really is a great place to visit. Is all the new development finished now? Are the mines open again too? We always planned to visit again once it was done. Thanks for watching and commenting. Matt and issy
We totally agree! We always recommend this place to everyone, and its great they're gradually adding more and more areas to it. Thanks for watching! Matt and Issy
Great video. Being from the area I remember quite a few of the buildings in their original locations. They have been relocated with great precision you wouldn't know they have been moved
What they've managed to achieve is amazing. Moving buildings brick by brick so convincingly is quite an achievement. Thanks for watching! Matt and Issy
The confectionary was the best. i haven't tasted anything like it! I honestly regretted not buying more! so if you go just load up on what ever you wish to by one time. Don't be like "oh i'll give it taste, maybe i won't like it" you are lying to yourself because you will love it. so enjoy it!
Amazing. Yeah, we really enjoyed it. You were great! We've really enjoyed all our visits at the Black Country Museum. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a gteat weekend. Matt and Issy
I love 💕 this video well done guys excellent narrative bskills from you both .thank you for mentioning my beloved peaky blinders .have you guys ever been to our Ironbridge museum?
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for watching! We haven't been to the Ironbridge Gorge Museum (yet!). We intended to go when we were up in Shropshire not too long ago, but most of it was closed! It's on the list though, as we've heard very good things! Thanks again and don't forget to subscribe for more videos!
We went (and filmed) last Summer! Had a great time. Matt actually grew up in Sussex, so used to go there a lot when he was young. Thanks for the suggestion though, and for watching! Matt and Issy
Have a great time! There is so much to see and do there. Make sure you try the fish and chips if that's your sort of thing! Thanks for watching! Matt and Issy
the mine is actually partly based on my family's old mine, starting at 6:28 you can see a picture of my great great (x?) grandfather (hes in the flat cap in the cabinate to the left!)
Oh wow... amazing! We must go again soon and visit the mine. We've been down there a long time ago, and remember it being really interesting. Thanks so much for watching. Matt and Issy
Mother used to treat me to fish and chips in Hobbs chip shop most Saturdays for helping her with the weekly shopping in Dudley. We used to sit in and have our fish and chip lunch. Hobbs was in Hall st and not far from the smiler pub . Ww lived in the priory estate then. Most people were wishing to get out of the poverty in those days but investigation later revealed that all 3 big political parties contrived to keep us in low pay so that businesses could compete in the international market by keeping wages down. It was only later when the labour government subsidised grants for extra training and qualifications so we could get better jobs with more money.
Wow that's a story. It's funny to think that these buildings that are now in the BCLM were everyday places for people in those communities, given they're now tourist attractions! Thanks also much for watching and your interesting comment. Matt and Issy
@@ExploreHomeRepeat The low pay was made worse because exporters could claim extra compensation out of the taxes just to keep their prices down. We were effectively subsidising the exporters through taxation and when we had to buy things at a higher cost. A mate of mine used to haul steel coils to Harwich for export to Scandinavia. He used to tell us about those very same coils of steel coming back into the country through Harwich a year later. The scam went on for years and just showed how corrupt the system was. Corrupt companies made so much profit it was worth them shipping thousands of tons abroad and still had money to pay to bring them back years later. As a truck driver I got to experience lots of corruption mainly from council run contract
Hi, thanks for watching! The reason it's called the black country is because in the 1800s there were a lot of ironworking foundries and forges, plus coal mines. It meant the air was full of smoke and coal dust all the time. The name has then stuck, even though all of that industry has virtually all gone. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already!
Absolutely. We'll get there eventually! We love the black country museum too - a really great day out. Thanks for watching and the nice comment, we really appreciate it. Matt and Issy
Yes, it's on our list for the future! It looks really good and we've heard excellent things about it. It's just too far from us for a day trip. We'll definitely make sure we visit next time we're up in the Sunderland, Newcastle, Durham area! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

Hi there. Yes, we'd love to go to Beamish, it's just a bit far away from us. It's on the list of places for the future though! Thanks for watching. Matt and Issy
I might be wrong, but don't people like literally live here? I swear they do I might be wrong but I heard from family some people ACTUALLY live there if they do that is fookin mental
🤣 Wow, I don't think so, but maybe! I find it hard to believe as I'm pretty sure you can go in all the buildings. You may be right though, although not sure we'd like to actually live there! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe for more days out reviews! Matt and Issy
Oh dear. You're one of those people. I would have thought you'd forgotten about it by now and gotten on with your life. Please don't watch our channel. Matt and Issy
