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.

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...

[Photos added at the bottom!] Hello all, it has been a while since I have been here, but after a few hours of searching on the net I have come up with less than 4 lines of sketchy history of the Gosta Green Art & Design University that was once owned by BCU (UCE) but now owned by Aston Uni. I...

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. The Library will be...

Hello everyone, I live near the Hockley flyover at soho hill and I always go past the Palladium in its sorry state. Does anyone have any background information on it (also when it opened or closed) and it would be really nice if anyone has got any internal pictures of it in use. Does anyone...
