About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Broad Street in Birmingham is a thriving part of Birmingham's entertainment district but scratch beneath the surface, and there is a rich vein of gothic history.

We search for evidence of:

The Plague Pits of Birmingham

An inventor's tragic death

1000's of Bodies transported around Birmingham at night

The secret Jewish cemetery

The printer's body displayed in a shop

The walk is circular, approximately 2 miles and takes two hours on pavements. Good mobility is recommended. The tour goes ahead in all conditions, so suitable clothing is essential.
