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.
