Who lived in a house like this? Explore the last Back to Back court slum housing in the UK with me.

Welcome to this weeks video, come and explore Birmingham's iconic Back to Back Houses with me. Recently voted the number one hidden gen attraction in the UK, these are the last surviving example of the Back to Back Courtyard slum housing lived in by millions of people in the UK from the start of the Industrial Revolution into the 20th Century. In these houses people did their best whilst surviving in damp, insanitary and cramped conditions. Join me as I take a step back in time and look into the history of these unique and fascinating homes that once housed the city's working-class families. From the cramped living spaces to the communal courtyards, I'll give you an inside look at what life was like for residents of these historic dwellings. Built in 1830 and still lived in until 1966 you get a real sense of what life was like living in houses like this. Both my Mom and my Dad were born in back to back houses in the 1950s the same as millions of other British people. Tours of the Birmingham Back to Backs can be booked on the National Trust Website. There is also an option for accessible tours as the stairs inside the houses are very steep.
