New Street City Centre Birmingham

A stereographic view of New Street. I don't know the date, but perhaps c1900. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but is it King Edwards School to the right. It might even be KEGs boys just in frame (right). Therefore is this looking towards High Street ?

Regarding the first photo, looks like something from East Germany during the Soviet occupation. What happened to style? Sorry.........

Not completely Richard. That picture was shortly after the war. The really awful stuff came with the 1960-70s library, which was then replaced by the latest one where style (of a sort) completely conquers purpose
