On a very wet Sunday! The History Group travelled to Birmingham to visit the Back-to-Back houses in the city center. It was a very enjoyable day, the guided tour around the houses was fascinating and was conducted by a very knowledgeable tour guide. We then had a walk across the city center, taking in the amazing transformation that has, and still is, reinvigorating the whole of the center area. We then had lunch on a canal boat as we travelled up and back down the canal. Why not join the group and enjoy these memorable days out.
