Artefact #: 1261

As part of CITYDRIVE 2019 Legacy WM, a local social enterprise supported by iSE (Initiative for Social Entrepreneurs) and Use-It Urban Innovation ran a walk called Hands on Handsworth. Attendees were invited to experience the unexpected and diverse history of Handsworth. Led by Rachel West, Heritage Officer, the tour took in aspects of all four of Legacy WM's walking tours, telling stories of protest, industry, nature and progress. The tour started and finished at Soho House Museum where the original entrepreneur, Matthew Boulton lived and met with his Lunar Society friends.
