@StirchleyHist @stirchleybaths Hi, I will be at Moseley Arts Market last Saturday of the month or MAC Christmas market or My Etsy shop heritagecat.etsy.com

I created this tile. Inspired by Stirchley Baths' architecture and history. I’ve chosen colours and motifs to reflect its Edwardian style. Each tile is hand-printed, giving it a unique character with slight variations that make every piece one of a kind. #Stirchley #Tile #History

@TheIronRoom @LibraryofBham Thank you. Rather confusingly, the Dads Lane estate is now known as the Pineapple estate!

@StirchleyHist @LibraryofBham Hello. Many thanks for making contact. We've looked at the catalogues and unfortunately don't have a layout plan for the Dad's Lane Estate. We do have a photo of houses on the neighbouring Pineapple Estate taken in 1925 which we'll post. Regards, Archives & Collections

#MapOnATuesday - Part 2. As promised, the second Birmingham housing estate layout plan of the day. This time - Birches Green, Erdington. Reference - Birmingham Corporation D/8 @LibraryofBham

Over the next few months we’ll be bringing you project soundbites and snippets of all things Golden Lion. In this clip, Sarah and Irene from @BirminghamCT talk about the building’s remarkable survival and its importance as a landmark in Cannon Hill Park. More to come!
