We Built This City

(Saturday) (Sunday)

We Built This City tells the story of the contribution of the Irish community to Birmingham. Irish labourers and navvies have worked on construction from Spaghetti Junction to The Rotunda, shaping both the city's built environment and its identity.

Birmingham's Irish Association have been collecting oral histories, objects and images to create an exhibition that brings the Irish contribution to life.

Free community exhibition.
