The Handsworth Historical Society
This fine example of a 15th Century Cruck-built house is the headquarters of the Handsworth Historical Society.
A profile of the building together with some of its history can be found on the 'Old Town Hall' page on this site.
Currently the picture/photographic albums compiled by the Society are being scanned
and the index is available here. It is not planned
to publish the full size pictures due to the amount of storage space required, but
we will happily respond to email requests for individual pictures.
|
Many people have only limited or occasional access to the Internet and no email
address, so for people with limited access, enquiries about Handsworth Historical
Society may be made to this phone number.
