More about this scene
Whether Harborne is famous for being a good place to catch newts and minnows is not recorded, but it was famous as a place for growing gooseberries; the annual dinner of the Gooseberry Growers’ Society was first held in Harborne in 1815. In the second half of the 19th century Harborne was something of a go-ahead place. In the 1880s it opened its own Institute and Masonic Hall, and one of the conditions of it joining Birmingham was that it got its own free library.
