Link Road is home to an unassuming row of Victorian terrace houses in Edgbaston, but inside one of these two up, two downs, a domestic revolution is happening.
At No 33 Link Road, a property bought by community group Civic Square and named Retrofit House, it’s open week. Events include a series of talks, classes and performances – there’s a timetable pinned by the front door so you know when to head to the back bedroom to learn about biomaterials or into the garden for a workshop on mending doors.
