Join me as I take a look at 18 photos of Birmingham and the West Midlands in the 1990s

We’re now officially closer to 2050 than 2000, which goes to show how quickly a quarter of a century can go by.

Many of us are guilty of looking back at previous decades with rose-tinted glasses, but it’s hard to escape the feeling that life was generally better 20 or 30 years ago.

The 1990s, for example, are looked back on with great fondness - and for good reason.

This retro gallery captures those moments and other memorable occasions within Birmingham during the ‘90s, as well as showing what everyday life was like back then in the city.

Let us know your memories of the West Midlands in the ‘90s.
