On this Day 1972: Birmingham’s Christmas Tree

OTD, December 6th, 1972…

Birmingham city centre’s Christmas tree for 1972 has been put in place outside the Council House HQ of the city corporation. The Mayor and Maytess switched on the string of festoon lights, with white bulbs, in a ceremony at the base of the pine tree which has been gifted from Sandviken in Sweden. There is also a brief look at the festive lights nearby.
