You can also read about the "Back to Backs" exhibit at the following sites: Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Back_to_Backs Birmingham Conservation Trust: http://birminghamconservationtrust.org/bct-finished/back-to-backs/ Not only will you find these types of buildings in Birmingham, but throughout the north including Manchester. My own family lived in one of these buildings in 1911 which had originally been built for mill workers. Ann Rabinowitz [email protected]
