Birmingham Back to Backs

Why go

Court 15 preserves Birmingham’s last surviving court of back-to-back houses, where the arrangement of rooms and shared walls helps explain how people lived. The George Saunders Caribbean tailor collection adds a named resident’s story to the buildings. The combination makes this a visit about households and working lives, rather than architecture alone.

What to look for

• The courtyard gathers the houses into a shared domestic space.
• George Saunders’s Caribbean tailor collection connects the site with a former resident.
• The tunnel between the Inge Street houses leads into the court.

Useful to know

• Keep this visit focused on the courtyard houses; upper floors involve steep, winding stairs.
