Historic England has recently announced funding for 56 community-led projects that delve into England's rich working-class history. These projects aim to shed light on diverse narratives from the nation's past, showcasing the everyday heritage that often goes unnoticed.
One of the funded documentaries will focus on Birmingham's roller skating history, particularly highlighting the now-demolished Tower Ballroom at the Edgbaston Reservoir. The film will capture the essence of this iconic venue that played a significant role in the city's working-class culture.
