Highbury Park – ‘The History Within’
You are invited to a Kings Heath History Society guided walk; ‘Highbury Park the History Within’.
This will be a guided walk exploring the development of the park from 19th Century rural idyll to modern day public park. We will look at evidence of the previous uses and features of the park some of which are now lost from view, whilst others have left footprints or remain intact. The grounds are grade II listed on the English Heritage register of parks and gardens of special historical interest and are currently undergoing restoration thanks to external funding and the work of the Chamberlain Highbury Trust.
