Discovering Birmingham and the Jewellery Quarter - Positively Birmingham Tour No. 3
We use a live audio system - the guide wears a transmitter and our guests wear a receiver. You hear every word even if you are well away making it perfect for social distancing and also ideal for those with impaired hearing.
Understand how Birmingham developed and see that many of today’s ways of working have deep roots in our past. A real investigation into today's city in the context of the history of this centre of the industrial revolution now facing up to the future in a determined way. In particular we explore:
- Earlier times – medieval origins
- From Georgian entrepreneurs to Victorian idealists
- Jewellery Quarter
- Canal city
- An artistic side
- Today's city developing for the future.
This 2 hour walking tour gives a great introduction to the city and will be of interest equally to local people and visitors alike.
