Relief sculpture

Many of our buildings have relief sculptures on them. They often tell a story but might also be decorative. My favourite is the William Bloye series of 3 panels at the Hall of Memory. Bloye created them in 1925 and they're fixed inside the Hall. They certainly tell a vivid story entitled: "Call", 'Frontline" and "Return". Be good to see what other interesting relief sculptures have survived on Birmingham's buildings. Viv.

They are just lovely Viv, what a talented man. Hope we find some more to post.
 
Agree Wendy. Be great to see other interesting reliefs whether external or interior as these features can often be overlooked in favour of the wider architectural features of a building. Viv.
