Digbeth We Are

For those studying engineering, for us geeks & for those with engineering cultural interests, Birmingham & the West Mids has so much to showcase & is missing a trick. We call out to the leaders of engineering - help us complete our digital map of the very best of engineering.

With help of the inspirational Thomas Telford et al, Birmingham and the Black Country are sitting on a cultural and heritage goldmine. Map these places, digitally promote them and see the tourists queue up and our hospitality sector boom. #LookUpBirmingham

🚨 Big news for Clyde Street, Digbeth! A key S106 legal agreement has today been formally secured for Latimer Housing's transformative project - set to bring c481 new homes, with 55% affordable. 🏡 Next up: Discharge of condition apps (incl. demo) + ongoing design development.

Quite simply one of the “wonders of the engineering world” right in the heart of our country. Everyone should go and experience this. #culture #engineering #Lookupbirmingham

U-turn on business rates for pubs is great news but come on Birmingham let's start to realising the amazing asset we have in our city's hospitality sector. We can do more. Support them. Promote them. Map them! #LookUpBirmingham for #Pubs - digital hospitality map coming soon.

A massive thank you to the volunteers @CanalRiverTrust @CRTWestMidlands who work tirelessly to clear up the mess created and rubbish left by a minority of people. These guys were out on the day of #stormgoretti tidying up on the canal between Birmingham and Knowle Locks.

Given @LiveTheModaLife growing involvement in Birmingham, you could be excused from thinking "run this city" takes on another meaning. #LookUpBirmingham

Curzon Street Tunnel and Curzon Street Viaduct - where 21st engineering partners Victorian engineering. Birmingham has so much to offer when it comes to construction, design and history. No better way to explore it than on the canals. #LookUpBirmingham
