From 1930s to 2024: 26 Birmingham Christmas photos that capture the magic of our festive city

Explore a nostalgic gallery of Birmingham's Christmas festivities from the 1930s to today, showcasing the city's unique charm over the decades including the Chad Valley toy factory, Lewis’s department store, Aston Villa and Birmingham City.

We take a look back at Christmas in Birmingham over the years.

From workers at the Chad Valley Company at Harborne in Birmingham, who worked 12 hours a day in order to get the Christmas orders out to carol services at the Bull Ring in the 1960s, the Second City has always loved the festive season.

Others show a glimpse into the festive feelings of Villa and Blues supporters over the years - and others Cadbury workers donning festive outfits to protect the company's independence on December 15, 2009.
