Ashfield u3a’s National Trust group recently visited the Birmingham Back to Backs. We were shown around in small groups by very experienced and enthusiastic guides,and were fascinated at how authentically they are preserved and the wonderful stories associated with their history. We would highly recommend a visit.
The photo shows one of the groups in the communal courtyard.

Ashfield u3a member Leslie recently experienced gliding. She said:
"It was a lovely experience. I was quite fearful to be honest so they sent me up first to save me worrying more. At the briefing before hand they explained about the lift-off, very steep and a huge bang when let go! Still made me jump! Marvellous views and very interesting."

Well done Leslie, thanks for sharing your experience.
