The Back to Backs.

The Birmingham Back to Backs (also known as Court 15) are the city's last surviving
court of back-to-back houses.  They are preserved as examples of the thousands of similar
houses that were built around shared courtyards, for the rapidly increasing population
of Britain's expanding industrial towns.  This court, at 50-54 Inge Street and
55-63 Hurst Street, is now operated as a museum by the National Trust.
