enamel and silve badge. An Arch shape, the top pale green rim inscribed 'Birmingham', a pale green scroll at the bottom inscribed 'Forward'. The top half of the badge in silver is a repeating arch motif creating an endless corridor. underneath in large capitals is FRH 1887 silver on royal blue enamel. The nurses must have needed very comfy walking shoes....
