Unlocking the Vaults: Step into History Taster Day #2

Join us for an engaging and informal morning packed with activities as we unveil the fascinating Unlocking the Vaults project, proudly supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

This dynamic initiative dives into the rich history and enduring legacy of the Birmingham Municipal Bank—and we’re inviting you to be part of the journey.

• Curious about history? Be part of our brand-new research group, guided by Dr. Justine Pick, Community Historian, to uncover hidden stories in the archives and gain hands-on skills in historical research.
• Have a story to tell? If you have memories of the bank—whether as a staff member or customer—we’d love to hear and celebrate your experiences.
• Simply intrigued? Explore the bank’s legacy and discover the exciting plans for the project’s future.

Expect a warm welcome from our project team, plus enjoy inspiring talks, behind-the-scenes tours, and interactive activities suitable for all ages.

Don’t miss this chance to connect with history, share stories, and be part of something truly special!

Delivered as part of the Unlocking the Vaults project which is exploring, with support from the National Heritage Lottery Fun, the heritage of The Exchange, University of Birmingham's city-centre location and former headquarters of Birmingham Municipal Bank.
