History of Little Boldmere

Birmingham City Council granted a small group of local residents some funding to support a project exploring the history of the south (‘little’) Boldmere area.

Two residents, Chris Peers and Pete Try, have done a lot of research which is being published here. There are a number of short articles on different topics and then links to more information, some of which is on the websites of other organisations. Photographs were taken by Alastair Barnsley from Highbury Theatre.

The history of Little Boldmere is explored through a number of articles. These are listed in the main menu on the left under “Boldmere History” – click on the drop down arrow and then select the article.
