There were some fabulous events held there during my time, ranging from visits by famous actresses at the Post Literary luncheons, to Star Trek cast members at the many Sci fi events.

Top marks to the Birmingham Victorian Society and English Heritage. Too many great old Brum buildings got zapped in the 1960's, and I'd hate to see a repeat of what was wanton, official vandalism.

Anyone know of any refurb progress at the Grand Hotel? Been a while since we heard anything. Viv.
I understand, from people at Colmore Business District[they also have offices within the building], that works within the Grand as well as on the facade are continuing well.
