‼️Scam notice‼️For those that may have seen us included in a 'Luxurious Jewellery Quarter Tour' on @GetYourGuide for £342.99, we have not agreed to this and are almost certain this is a scam. Please do not purchase any tickets involving the Coffin Works from them.

Birmingham is fantastically brilliant city facing tough times for all our communities. The proposed cuts to the city's cultural budget is devastating to the organisations concerned and the 10s of 1000s of us who access them for pleasure, learning, wellbeing and creativity 1/2

Beneath us, a forgotten river flows. Last weekend I was able to re-tread my footsteps along the brick culvert that channels the River Rea beneath Highgate and Digbeth. It's not an easy walk, but it is a route that offers unique and unparalleled views of our city.

Did you know Bertha Bracey, who helped rescue children during the War, lived in #Bournville? To honour her, a blue plaque is going on display at her former family home. Check out our interview with her great niece and Callum, whose home the plaque will go on ☺️ @BirminghamCivic

Dave was always kind, encouraging and warm towards me. I miss talking to him and sharing a @TheMeatShack burger from time to time. This is a lovely way to celebrate his legacy. Well done @ColmoreBID ♥️
