Welcome to Quinton Local History Society. We are a large and successful society, now having nearly 250 members, and we run a regular programme of events. Please click on one of the scrolls on the left for more information.
I would hope that the society is always one of the first to own, use and be aware of the changes in technology and digital imaging. Recently I have been amazed by the powers of "You Tube" on the computer, especially the ability of the site to make the world instantly aware of what is happening. The next step forward for the society is to have greater exposure. Also to try and attract a younger audience. With that aim in mind I will load onto the site, clips of events that happen at the society. To gain access to this new innovation just click on the "Past Events" banner, click on "Video", and then choose which clip you care to watch. The first ones to see were taken at the "Line dancers meeting" held every Friday at the Quinton Methodist Church Hall (opposite the Reel Cinema) from 4pm till 5.15 ish - just £1.50 at the door and that includes tea/coffee and biscuits. A very friendly group - if you would like more information ring Iris or Bernard on 0121-422-1792. Please note that all articles and images on this website are copyright.
