Canals and Victorians to Todays City Walking Tour - Birmingham

We look at early development right up to the present day. From Georgian industrial growth, the coming of the canals and on to Victorian times where the town developed as a world producer and coped with huge social and infrastructure issues - we call it being 'successfully unsustainable'. Moving into the 20th Century, brutalist concrete architecture, and then today's city moving forward all around us. Our walk is around 3 km, takes 2 hours and includes central canal towpaths and city squares.

Our tour is conducted by Jonathan Berg, whose book Birmingham's Public Art was published on 1st November 2023..... Jonathan believes a walking tour should be fun, educational, memorable and inclusive – so expect to be entertained. We had great feedback from the last walks that he did for us.

Start and Finish : Library of Birmingham entrance, Centenary Square, B1 2ND
