My Videos on DVD

02/05/2026

⭐ Wolverhampton has been changing since the 1960s - and ordinary families were filming all of it. Back gardens, Sunday afternoons at the Mander Centre, streets that no longer exist.

That footage is sitting on VHS tapes and cine film reels in lofts across the city right now, quietly deteriorating.

We've written a post about Wolverhampton on film (with some brilliant archive footage) and where to drop off your tapes if you're ready to get them transferred.

📼 One of the best things about getting your old tapes transferred to digital is how easy it becomes to share them. No more gathering everyone round to watch a fuzzy tape on an old TV - once it's an MP4 file you can share it with family members anywhere in the world in minutes.

We've written a guide covering the best ways to do it - Google Photos, WhatsApp, iCloud, YouTube, and good old USB in the post for relatives who aren't online.

Currently on the scanner, some negatives being scanned into high-resolution versions, along with gentle dust removal and colour correction 👍
