BIRMINGHAM BACK TO BACKS REVIEWS

You have to pre-book tickets at least the day before as you can't get them on the door. This is an interesting museum where you can see how people lived and worked in these cramped conditions. You get a 90 minute guided tour and experience the houses over different periods of history. There are a lot of original narrow twisty stairs, dark dingy candle-lit rooms and low doorways, and if the group is full, it can feel a bit crowded, but that is part of the experience as that is how people lived here. There is a separate exhibition space and shop. There was an interesting and thought-provoking exhibition about the recently forced clearance of a housing estate in Birmingham called Druids Heath, and its impact on the residents and community.

Our guide Richard told us many interesting facts and stories about the residents of the back-to-back houses. We learned how people lived and worked in very small spaces. The tour takes visitors through different decades, which is reflected in the furnishings of the houses. I highly recommend the visit.

Really amazing and interesting visit. Tiny courtyard and houses and shops saved from demolition and run preserved and managed by the National Trust. 1840s to 2000, how people lived and got by. How different life was.

ASTON HALL REVIEWS

Old beautiful classic English castle with interesting rooms and spaces. I recommend finding out when it is open and visiting it. It is good fun for a few hours or so. The park is also beautiful and there is parking on-site, next to the castle. It will cost you £10 per adult person, depending on when you visit it. The best time to visit is speing time or summer.

Visited this amazing hall on a Saturday mid January. Aston Hall is a beautiful Jacobean house set in its own grounds. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re in the area and you’re into architecture and family history then I would highly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

So much beauty is collected here! Amazing gardens which you can enjoy for free but if you are curious for more history then you need to enter the house! It is very well kept and you can explore all the rooms. Nice coffee with nice food in the house.

LIBRARY OF BIRMINGHAM REVIEWS

The library is beautiful! As a tourist, it is a wonderful place for anyone coming to Birmingham. On the top 2 floors, there is a beautiful terrace with lots of flowers and benches to sit on. There is an exhibition that explains the history of the library. I recommend taking the elevator up and turn down by the escalators. As a student, it is a great place to study, do your homework, it has internet, very private spaces, you can get your membership card to request books. It is a great place for group study or even to read a book.

I love this place so much,my son every day asks me to go there, There is a special reading floor for children with many activities held during occasions. My child also enjoys the reading, the piano rooms and the classes held every Saturday for children from birth. The place in general is useful for children and the team is very understanding, patient, kind and cooperative.

What an amazing library! There is 3 roof top areas and a secret garden all free with fantastic views of the city. It has a cafe, shop and toilets and oh yeah lots and lots of books. I wish this was my local library its absolutely stunning!
