Heartlands Local History Society

Birmingham

The Heartlands Local History Society was set up in May 1993 and the society, based in Nechells, covers the Birmingham Heartlands area, which is defined as on the borders of; Aston, Gosta Green, Ashted, Vauxhall, Duddeston, Bordesley, Small Heath, Saltley, Washwood Heath, Bromford and Nechells.

We show our collection of photographs and memorabilia at exhibitions and school reunions across the Heartlands area. We have over 2000 photographs that cover schools, factories, churches, public houses, shops, streets, rivers, canals and some of the people who used to live in the Heartlands area before most of it was demolished to make way for new roads and Industry.
