Birmingham Photo Gallery - Digbeth Graffiti
| |
Digbeth is just to the east of the city centre and used to be a manufacturing area with large industrial complexes. The railways arrived in the mid-19th century and huge viaducts crossed above the streets.Some of the names from the industrial era are still familiar today, such as Typhoo tea, but nowadays, there is a lot of decay with regeneration taking hold in small steps, driven by construction of the HS2 and tram extension. While the area looks a bit rough, street artists have arrived and decorated many buildings and railway arches with graffiti, so it is still worthwhile to drop by and explore during the day.
