Digbeth Photo Walk Feb 2017

The classic Digbeth walk weaving through the back streets, canals and hinterlands of this mysterious inner city district.

Starting at 12pm and lasting at least two hours, this is a slow walk, encouraging you to look at the city in detail and see Birmingham in a new way whilst developing your photographic skills.

All cameras, from phones to SLRs, and all abilities are welcome.

If you have a Photo School voucher or credit, please get in touch before ordering.

Additional Information

This walk lasts for two hours and takes in (subject to the route) monolithic railway architecture, graffitied buildings, light industry, canals, artist studios, victorian urinals, repurposed factories, forgotten cathedrals, spectacular city views, neo-pagan stone circles and the mysterious terminating viaduct.

Digbeth is an inner-city district with a history of resisting regeneration. Turn the corner from the shiny Bullring and you'll find yourself in what appears to be an urban wasteland but which is surprisingly alive and vibrant. You guide, artist and photographer Pete Ashton, has been exploring Digbeth for over a decade and will regale you with the myths, legends, facts and lies about this weird little area while you photograph its glories.

  • Suitable for: All levels of photography and all cameras from phones to SLRs.
  • Accessibility: Mostly pavements and canal towpaths. Pretty good accessibility.
  • Starting point: Curzon St Station steps, by the Woodman Pub, at 12pm.

I will email you a couple of days before to confirm final details.

Weather dependent. In event of cancellation, credit for a rescheduled event or refunds will be offered.
