Tony Robinson's Museum of Us

Sir Tony Robinson and an expert design team help residents create unique pop-up museums celebrating their hidden history. What do they discover in Bristol?

Tony and the team help the diverse community of Somerset Road in Handsworth, Birmingham, to create a pop-up museum celebrating the history of their street. Residents from as far afield as Poland and Jamaica share their stories of coming to the UK, and links are uncovered between Somerset Road, the jewellery trade, and the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution.

The residents of Portland Street in Aberystwyth, Wales, find out about the street's maritime traditions and discover a little-known LGBTQ+ icon from the past.
