Celebrating 25 years! We usually meet on the first Wednesday of each month at Bearwood Baptist Church, but see the Programme page for details.

Welcome to Smethwick Local History Society

Are you interested in the people, places, things and events that helped shape our heritage in this area then why not join this Society?

We were formed in 1984 and have just celebrated our 25th anniversary with a visit to the Houses of Parliament and the production of a commemorative coaster.

We pride ourselves on being one of the oldest and most active local history societies in the region.

Membership costs only £6.50 per person or £11 for two people living at the same address. You do not have to be a member to attend a meeting but a cover charge of £1 is payable by all who attend.
