Day meeting at the Midland Institute on 28th October
The scene will be set by Tim Bridges who will give an overview of the architects working in the area during the 19th and early 20th century. Then Joe Holyoak will illustrate the work of J.H.Chamberlain, architect of Birmingham's Civic Gospel which transformed the city's governance under the leadership of the Liberal Party. The morning concludes with Michael Harrison who will extend our knowledge of Alexander Harvey’s wide range of work. The afternoon starts with Andy Foster who will share research from his recent Pevsner volume on the Black Country by talking about lesser known architects who worked in that area. Gillian Roberts will follow and introduce us to William Weller who designed houses in and around Wolverhampton. The day will conclude with Mary Worsfold on the architects and development of houses in Barnt Green between 1890 and the First World War.
