Description
‘Little-Known Ladywood’ was created with Norman Bartlam (writer of The Little Book of Birmingham) from Ladywood History Group and was based on a range of locations and stories that were recommended by local people prior to lockdown.
The tour features contributions from our friends at Birmingham Music Archive, Westside BID, and the Canal & River Trust.
