A Poem for Shirley

In May 2023, for Local and Community History Month, local historian, Gordon Bragg, led a guided walk around “Shirley Street.” Participants were accompanied by Poetry on Loan poet, Jonny Fluffypunk, who then crafted a poem referencing Shirley’s history.

Jonny has recorded himself performing the poem, and we have added some photos from the collection at The Core Library, Solihull to create a short video. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did, and can get all the references to Shirley’s history!
