Back to Backs - The National Trust

Birmingham's last surviving court of back-to-back housing has now been fully restored by the Birmingham Conservation Trust and The National Trust. Thousands of houses like these were built, literally back-to-back, around courtyards, for the rapidly increasing population of Britain's expanding industrial towns.

The story of the site is told through the experiences of the people who lived and worked here. Visitors move through four different periods, from 1840 to 1977. The design of each interior reflects the varied cultures, religions, and professions of the families who made their homes here.

This heritage site is educational and interesting. It provides a unique insight into the life and times of the industrial era and is a great attraction for those wanting learn more of this intriguing city
