A journey through our history

From sculptures that move with water to buildings that once housed cinemas and radio studios - the Aston Heritage and Art Trail uncovers the creative, surprising, and ever-changing history of Aston University. Each stop has its own plaque and you can find stories and photos for each stop below.

 

How to follow the trail

The Aston Heritage and Art Trail is a self-guided walk - start anywhere and explore at your own pace. You can walk it between lectures, on your lunch break, or whenever you fancy seeing campus in a new way.
