I spent the day in Bham yesterday and enjoyed the free exhibition available at the Birmingham Back-to-Backs. It included many interactive information panels and a film about the Back-to-Backs which included a feature on George Saunders.
George Saunders, of St Kitts, came to the UK in 1958 and worked for Philip Collier’s tailor shop on Hurst St, Bham. He then set up his own shop at Court 15, Bordesley Court, Bham in 1974. He worked at a Hurst St back-to-back until 2001.
It then paid £6 for the 90 minute tour of the Back-to-Backs. A brilliant tour. Splendid artefacts on display and a very knowledgeable tour guide.
