In the late 1800's Brum's factories clanged and clattered, a small group of artisans crafted gates like these. Spot them on my Hand and Hammer walking tour and see Birmingham’s beauty beneath the soot. #ArtsAndCrafts #BirminghamHistory #HandAndHammer #walkingtour #Birmingham

Edgbaston Reservoir – Hand-printed Ceramic Tile (6x6 inch)
A quiet Birmingham treasure, Edgbaston Reservoir was created in the 1820s by Thomas Telford as a canal feeder—and soon became a romantic escape for Victorian strollers, rowers, and daydreamers.
