Hello all, would anyone have any old bank (inside) pictures of the Midland Bank on Bennetts Hill? There are plenty of exterior pics, but no interior ones when it was a bank.
Thanking you,
Mike.

The history page has the slideshow button removed. The rest of the pages should have the slideshow button.
Sometimes Internet Explorer is just pants though.

I was given access to the site over two days with permission from University Hospitals Birmingham and Coleman & Co. demolition group.
Selly Oak Hospital started life as King's Norton Union Workhouse in 1872. Departments started to move from the site in 2010 into the new QE super hospital...

The Grey Floor (Ground floor)
The grey floor was mainly used for Graphic Design, Screen/Print works and Ceramics. The G/D rooms were all empty so no pics of them.

Birmingham Central Library is one of the best buildings in Birmingham imo, its cold grey exterior hides an amazing architectural layout inside. I suppose it is a ‘Marmite’ building, some people love it and others hate it, well I love it and it will be a shame to see it go.
