Discover Birmingham’s untold stories with Canal & River Trust and the Black Heritage Walks Network.

Canal & River Trust West Midlands would like to invite you to take part in a walk to celebrate Black History Month.

Join us on a guided walk along the canals and through Brindleyplace as we uncover the rich African history that has shaped the city. Led by experienced community historians from Black Heritage Walks Network, the walk will highlight hidden narratives, celebrate Black pioneers, and connect past struggles and triumphs to Birmingham today. This is a unique chance to see familiar places in a new light — through the lens of Black heritage, culture, and pride.

The walk will be led by local historians and will cover approximately 5km (3 miles).
