About Wendy Pearson

Wendy Pearson has spent most of her life in Birmingham or the Black Country although has travelled widely to Third World or emerging countries. One of her main interests is photography and had become a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society in 1997. Sport was a major past-time and she gained various representative honours playing netball, basketball and volleyball. Since retiring she has become involved with a Resident's Association whom she represents on the Ward Advisory Board. She is currently a member of English Heritage, and worked for some years as a guide for the National Trust. She currently runs two afternoon local history groups for people who are reluctant to go out during the dark winter evenings but who wish to discuss and explore the history of their neighbourhood. She objects to wilful destruction of significant heritage properties and the environment, and is in favour of empowering communities to determine what they want in their own neighbourhood.
