Birmingham Back to Backs AND Custard Factory | Awesome Wave
Day out in Birmingham. We visited the National Trust's Back to Backs followed by a wander around the Custard Factory.
{click for more info}
The Back to Backs are the last remaining back to back houses in Birmingham built during the Industrial Revolution when Birmingham was a fast expanding city. The house were quite literally cut into two, one family lived at the front and one at the back. And all centered around a communal courtyard where the lavatories and laundry where located.
The guided tour moves through 4 different houses each recreating a different decade from the 1840s through the 1970s. We learn what it was like to live there at different points over time.
Back to Backs:
The Custard Factory is an independent shopping destination and creative and digital business workspace location in Digbeth, Birmingham. Great vintage shopping and seeking out interesting indie shops.
