One Pair of Eyes: Birmingham - The Venice of England? (1970)

This is part of a film shown in the BBC's documentary series One Pair of Eyes in 1970. We see the last days of commercial carrying and the early days of leisure boating existing side by side, while around them the new Birmingham has arisen.

Soon Cliff Richard will arrive to make Take Me High.
