Thanks for sharing,i grew up in Hillfields during those years.... remember all of the old tenements being demolished and the new flats being built.

The well camouflaged visitor mentioned at around 5:00 belongs to Tin Tin.

Loved that bit showing the two lines of White washing pegged out on their lines, different meaning now of course!🫣

I was born in 1953 in Gulson Rd Hospital, but my home address on my birth certificate states 60, George Street, Hillfields. Not there now. I believe there's a temple or something where my old house was. I have very extreme distant memories of the area, particularly the Bon Bon sweet shop and the Swanswell park.
