Ghosts Walk

11am to 12.30pm, meet in Ort Gallery (500-504 Moseley Road, B12 9AH)

No haunted houses or horror stories on this guided walk led by Ben Waddington, for the ghosts of the title are the shades of the past that surround us every day, visible only when we start looking. These may be pre-Victorian survivors of an earlier era, the ‘ghost signs’ in the gables of shops on the high street, or the Balsall Heath Zeitgeist - the spirit of the times that characterises local identity, then and now. The truth is out there!

Ben is the director of Still Walking, Birmingham’s festival of guided tours and walking events.
