Friends of the Centre for West Midlands History Newsletter Issue 4 Friends of June 2010 the Centre for West Midlands History Sharing the Past with the Future A Glimpse of Vanished Birmingham By Dorothy Vuong A fascinating collection of photos of Birmingham in the 1950s and 1960s is available on the University of Birmingham web repository. The photos were taken by Phyllis Nicklin, who was the Staff Tutor in Geography in the University of Birmingham‘s former Department of Extra Mural Studies in the 1950s and 1960s. Phyllis died in post in 1969 and left behind thousands of slides she had taken for her classes. The images are of the city centre and a selection of districts and suburbs. They document Birmingham‘s buildings, urban topography and street scenes and show many parts of the city during its re-development and the construction of the ring roads. 446 slides held at the University’s Orchard Centre Library were digitised by the ‘Chrysalis’ digitisation project of the West Midlands Museums, Libraries and Archives Council. The original project site is alas no more, but the slides are available again at http://epapers.bham.ac.uk/chrysalis.html Some further functionality has been added, including geographical co-ordinates and a map to the approximate locations of the photos. Each image is also linked to the same location as it is today, via Google maps and streetview. The images are publicly available under a Creative Commons (Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike) Licence. They are available for anyone to download, edit, re-use and redistribute for non-commercial purposes.

Friends of the Centre for West Midlands History Visit to St Nicolas Place By Roger Bruton The Friends’ visit to St Nicolas Place at Kings Norton in March was an opportunity to study at first hand the buildings and results of the work undertaken on site since the project won the BBC’s Restoration programme in 2004. The £2.5m, four year project has not only saved the Tudor Merchant’s House and the Old Grammar School but, by adaptive re-use and the successful architectural conjunction of old and new, has seen the delivery of a flourishing heritage site, archive and valuable community resource. Twenty-two Friends and their friends were treated to a presentation on the history of the buildings on the site, an understanding of what was involved in the restoration project, what the goals of the trust were and the current uses of and community roles fulfilled by St Nicolas Place. The subsequent guided tour of the restored buildings gave first-hand evidence of how sympathetically the restorations had been managed.

Centenary Programme Talks, Walks, Tours, Family Activities and more Celebrating 100 years of Birmingham Civic Society Welcome to the city beautiful Celebrating 100 years of Birmingham Civic Society Birmingham Civic Society was founded on 10th June 1918 partly through a desire to create a better society following the First World War. Its primary focus was to influence the post-war regeneration of the city. In its early years the Civic Society successfully bought land to create open spaces establishing parks in places such as Northfield and Kings Norton. The Society also provided designs and funds to make improvements to several existing parks including Aston, Handsworth and Cannon Hill Parks. Over the century the Society campaigned to save a number of historic properties and organisations including The Rep Theatre and safeguarding Birmingham Cathedral’s Burne-Jones stained glass windows during the Second World War. In the 1950s the Society erected the first of its Blue Plaques which honour significant people who have lived or worked in the city. This scheme continues today and four new plaques will be created in this centenary year. Today the Society continues to lobby for an improved urban environment and strongly promotes active citizenship. The Next Generation Award encourages young people to play a role in the future of their city and Renaissance Awards recognise the most successful conservation projects in the city. The City Beautiful celebrates the centenary of the Birmingham Civic Society. A full programme of events has been created in collaboration with many of the diverse organisations Birmingham boasts.
