Gravelly Lane, Erdington, Birmingham Aug 2008 - Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield

First clip is of Gravelly Lane in Erdington, Birmingham. There used to be a cycle shop called Tower Cycles, where I bought a pushbike from in 1985. The shop is now called Tower Carpets. There is a really good local butcher shop next door to the carpet shop, Bill Wickett, which has been in existance for many years, excellent service there. There is Gravelly Chippy across the road which has had new management since around July this year.

The second clip is from 2007, when we had torrential rain and I was amazed to see the 'river' that flowed down the High st at Boldmere Rd, Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield. I had my cam and took this clip, but shortly after my camera stopped working as it had got wet, a very expensive lesson learned about water and electronic equipment.
