Birmingham's Back To Backs

Hidden Birmingham

Available for over a year

By the start of the 20th century, there were more than 40,000 back to back houses in Birmingham. But now only one example – with a complete courtyard – remains in the city. The Birmingham Back To Backs are now run by the National Trust and offer a unique glimpse into the past. Producer/Presenter: Russell Truran Image: Getty
