For those interested in Birmingham’s heritage pre-Pallasades, Mark Norton’s book ‘Birmingham Then & Now‘, features a collection of previously unpublished archive images of Birmingham alongside full-colour modern photographs.

Take a nostalgic visual journey back to 1960s Birmingham to witness the much-loved Bull Ring, the grand city-centre buildings that were demolished to make way for the ‘modern’ city and the streets and courts that were swept away during the last fifty years of development.

Featuring photographs from the collections of Geoff Thompson and Bill Stace, the book compares ‘the fashionable man about town to his modern counterparts, and workers of yesteryear with today’s trades-people’.

The book, published by The History Press, retails at £12.99 currently with 10% discount online.
