Stourbridge.com has been incredibly fortunate in acquiring a video, produced by Stourbridge Council back in the 1960's, promoting the virtues of the ring road! Called "Order out of Chaos", it was intended to show what a vast improvement the ring road was in reducing traffic chaos in the town centre, even back then, and as we all know the ring road is a subject of fierce debate to this day. But the video is far more important than that, it is also a fascinating insight into life in Stourbridge in the 1960's. It's fun trying to recognise the various parts of the town, some are almost unchanged where others have out of all recognition. We decided to split the footage up into manageable pieces and used Youtube as the delivery mechanism. In time we may organise the video clips in a map of the town centre, so you know exactly where the film was taken from. Over the next few weeks we intend posting lots more clips so keep looking! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Latest June 09 - New video - Stourbridge in the 1980s! Are you on the video? do you know the punk sat outside Woolies? Or the two bikers walking up the Ryemarket outside Bewise, now Que Pasa? What about the group of people outside the old Yorkshire Bank in Coventry Street? If you were on the video or recognise a friend or relative, ask them to get in touch! Comments below:
