The Queen's Visit to Oldbury, 1957

This film was produced by Light Metal Forgings who manufactured the titanium rose bowl and shooting stick given to the Queen and Prince Philip to mark their visit to Oldbury on 23rd April 1957. It shows part of the route taken by the Queen, filmed in the morning of the visit, the arrival in the Town Square at Oldbury, and the Queen's departure. Thanks to Dr Terry Daniels, Chair of Langley Local History Society and Chair, of Oldbury Local History Group for letting us add this film to the Sandwell Channel.
