This list is chiefly taken from a "Birmingham Souvenir Guide", published by the Local Studies Department of the Birmingham Central Library in the late seventies/ early eighties. Our thanks to Ian Jelf, a local Blue Badge Guide, for bringing it to our attention.
We'd love to hear from people in the other Birminghams and to be told of websites for those we don't already list - please use the "Contact Us" link below.
