If Guilbert gets a train on the Cross City or Chase or West Coast Mainlines, he could get views like this. 20th August 2020 on a Class 350 train I got from Stechford to Birmingham New Street (one train an hour, and it was delayed). Turntable. Curzon Street Station. New Canal Street...

I'm not sure. Probably also buses. Currently traffic is diverted onto Grosvenor Street West. Might be tram and bus only.

There is tracks visible from the Hagley Road, but I couldn't see anywhere safe to get a photo. So instead took this on Broad Street near Symphony Hall and Regency Wharf.

That was a rainy day. People either sheltering from the rain. Or sticking to the City Core shopping. You should see how busy the High Street area was, way too many people. Westside was much quieter, including Brindleyplace. Was even people sitting on graves in Cathedral Square (St Philip's...

No, midday or in the afternoon. There wouldn't be people hovering in mid air in front of that new facade. Unless you had builders on a cherry picker or something. No one on site today that I could see.

After Cineworld, got these reflections of the Library in Symphony Hall.

Maybe convert them into hotels? (or a museum of some kind). Some 103 Colmore Row views from Centenary Way.

From the 26th August 2020. May pass through here again later, after my first cinema visit in 5 months.

One Centenary Way has started and due to be completed by 2022. There is also the restaurant spaces. Dishroom opened recently at One Chamberlain Square.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but saw this sign on Lowhill Lane in Longbridge near the new houses. About the Flight Shed, 1936 until 2011.

Found a Twinings ghost sign on Groveley Lane in Longbridge near Coombes Lane.

The whole clock, the tower, the mechanisms, all off to Smith of Derby. It will be restored off site. So the roundabout will not have anything on it until early 2021.

I'd taken a few earlier this month, and was aware it was going today and tomorrow.

Having just walked up Congreve Passage again and crossed over Great Charles Street Queensway / Paradise Circus Queensway, took this photo looking back as I headed to the Jewellery Quarter via Summer Row, Parade and Newhall Hill.

Got some photos of that today. Up Frederick Street to the Chamberlain Clock in the Jewellery Quarter. Warstone Lane Vyse Street Further down Warstone Lane near Golden Square.
