DESCRIPTION: Viewed while crawling along the Bristol Road from the top deck
  of the 63 bus\, Selly Oak seems like the archetypical Birmingham suburb: 
 ranks of Victorian terraces sloping up hillsides\; major roads peppered wi
 th cookie-cutter retail parks\; endless parades of takeaways. An early 21s
 t Century mise-en-scene given a dash of local flavour by the all-seeing ey
 e of "Old Joe"\, the imposing clock tower of the University of Birmingham.
  \n\n On this walk Josh Allen looks to the recent (and less recent) past t
 o reveal a very different side to this South Birmingham suburb. This is a 
 Selly Oak where tenants blockaded roads to get council houses\, where libe
 rtarian communists squatted derelict buildings to create print workshops\,
  advice clinics\, youth clubs and co-ops. A Maoist bookshop stood opposite
  what's now Aldi and precarious migrant metalworkers launched weeks long s
 trikes. \n\n How might this undercurrent of radicalism have been encourage
 d by Selly Oak's historic position at the crux between three counties? Joi
 n us on June 10th to find out. See below for details. \n
