A photographic exhibition telling stories of Commonwealth migration - and how Birmingham became the diverse city it is today - is currently on display at the Back to Backs.

From City Of Empire To City Of Diversity: A Visual Journey has been created from the Library of Birmingham’s Dyche Collection. 

The collection documents in photographs post-1945 migration and the huge contribution made by those from the Commonwealth who settled in the city. The exhibition - which shows at the Back to Backs until Monday 6 March - also draws upon other collections held by Birmingham Archives. 

Tickets must be booked in advance at nationaltrust.org.uk.
