Over the last 30 years the Society has grown from strength to strength and has a part-time Development Worker, Chris Sutton. We also have a Victorian Schoolroom, a fascinating range of publications, some interesting projects and active participation in local events such as Balsall Heath Carnival.
Our major current project is the Heritage Lottery Funded “Our Community, Our History”. This will capture memories of life in Balsall Heath from the Second World War onwards. We will be exploring the varied stories of those who came and made (and still do) their homes here. We will also be looking at the history of the annual Carnival and the varied food of the area. If you have memories, photographs and favourite recipes we would love to hear from you at 0121 464 1890 or via the email addresses.
Our monthly meetings are held at St Paul’s Venture, Malvern St. off Clifton Road, Balsall Heath, on the last Thursday of each month. The 2009/2010 meetings are all listed on the meetings page.
Why not come along? Visitors and new members are always welcome. We make a small charge for visitors.
