the Weoley Collection
 
The Weoley Collection at Weoley Castle Library has been built up over the past few years and contains all the material at the library about the Weoley Castle area and the historic Manor of Weoley. It aims to collect and preserve Weoley’s recorded heritage for the use of the local community, school children and students and to preserve it for the use of future generations.

The collection is already a valuable resource on the history and development of the area and a good starting point for local history projects and for local people who want to delve into Weoley’s past or reminisce over views of yesteryear.

The material has been collected from a number of sources which include community groups and local residents, the Birmingham Central Library and local press cuttings.
