Not Birmingham but a new interest for reading day by day. https://www.westminster.gov.uk/services/libraries/archives/victorian-clerk/ is the diary of a victorian clerk for 1846. As i understand it , it is being updated weekly as the year goes by. each item is short (so far), but there are additional pictures (from london) added by the archives. The site shows you the typical happenings of a clerk at that time.
