Description

Beneath Birmingham's surface lies a hidden world of history and intrigue. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the city thrived as a centre for science, technology, and industry, earning its reputation as the most important manufacturing hub in the country. Today, this industrial heritage remains an integral part of the city's identity. Going Underground: Birmingham takes you on a journey through the tunnels, catacombs, and hidden passages that lie beneath the surface. You'll discover stories of air-raid shelters, former railway lines, and even a culvert containing Birmingham's only river. This fascinating portrait of underground Birmingham is a must-have for anyone interested in the city's history and secrets.
