Hi all
I would like to compile a brief history of the area of where Aston University is now. I work at the Uni and would like to provide students (and staff) a short history of the location of the uni, what was there before, why our buildings are called what they are etc
I don't want to write a long piece (as they won't read it :010: ) but to just provide some context of where we are and the role it played in the development of the city (and also to provide info on the slums, etc)
I am posting to ask if anyone would be willing to help? I'm VERY new to local history and although I'm aware of the photos already on this site I don't want to take anything without the OK of the people who have posted them.
I hope this request isn't against the board. Anything I do will be made available to all on here etc
Thanks for reading
