Introduction

​

The project was aimed at young people from 11-14 years old. It looked at the layers of immigration over time, in one area of Birmingham: Balsall Heath. It met UK curriculum targets in History at Key Stage 2, to undertake a local history study over time, testing how far sites in the locality reflect aspects of national history.

Groups based in a number of local schools looked at different aspects of the history of Balsall Heath. The project was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
