Also the Black Sabbath Bridge minus the Black Sabbath Bench which is now in storage due to the Metro extension works.

Tried again at the crossing between Symphony Hall and the Hyatt Regency Birmingham on Broad Street. The pavement near Symphony Hall is closed. View past Regency Wharf. View towards Centenary Square.

A place where you can get Chinese and Indian food. The reviews don't look too good though. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186402-d4085112-Reviews-Buffet_Hut-Birmingham_West_Midlands_England.html

Some more photos taken on New Street. Apple & Oasis (ex Midland Bank and Midland Hotel - now Burlington Hotel and Arcade). Buffet Hut at King Edward House. Seen from the end of Union Passage. Was the Yard of Ale (site of 1974 Birmingham Pub Bombings as the Tavern in the Town). A frame at...

Got these details out of my Pevsner book. (Former) Beattie's store, formerly C & A, of 1949, extended 1958 and 1969 by North & Partners, linked with their work on New Street. Glass top story of 2000. Although that might refer to Corporation Street and not Union Passage / Warwick Passage.

Not sure what they use to burn in the oven. But it dates to the 1840s originally. Was opened and closed too fast to see.

Was a free open day today as the Bakehouse was reopened and was back in use after not being used for 150 years. Storm Dennis didn't stop people visiting the mill. Wooden roof beams on the ceiling. About to bake some bread. Putting the bread into the hot oven. Outside the...

Top of Christchurch Passage from Waterloo Street. Steps closed apart from access to Nando's Staff. But did see a man go down.

Took a minor detour from Union Street onto Union Passage this morning. But before heading up Warwick Passage to Corporation Street, got this photo of the back of what is now New Look. Looks like a ship. I rarely take photos down here (in fact this is my first photo down here in 10 years).

Off the bus this morning and into St Martin's Square. Browns and St Martin in the Bullring. Selfridges and the spire of St Martin's from the area behind the Thai restaurant. Fudge bus back on St Martin's Walk. An empty Rotunda Square.

New Street this morning before 9:30am before the shops or street vendors had opened up. A lot of the shops both sides have new glass frontages. Including on the old Big Top side.

The view from Waterloo Street towards Arena Central and the Alpha Tower. An ever changing view over Victoria Square with the Dandara building and 3 Arena Central. You can just about see the Town Hall of the right. Christchurch Passage (not in the photo to the left) was closed due to roadworks in...

New steps now open below the statue of Queen Victoria in Victoria Square. Christchurch Passage is temporarily closed due to these roadworks.

Glad you liked my photos Kat. Was thanks to Karl Newton for organising the first Brumtography photo meet last month. Was my first and last time in the Eagle & Tun. Was so much contents inside that they needed to sell, then that fire happened.

If I go on a Brumtography photo meet next month, I might be able to get photos in the restored baths. (it's a private Facebook photography group that started last month and I sometimes go on photo meets with them). My old Primary School used to have it's own swimming pool. When they stopped...

It's already on BBC iPlayer, I watched it several nights ago. As it was previously broadcast on the 3rd February on BBC 1 West Midlands. Was good. The other programmes in that series are already on iPlayer, the next one is on the Chinese, then Bangladeshi communities in the UK...

Got this photo of the gents at the Eagle & Tun last month.

Back to normal now with the Reflective Pool. Might still be winter but spring is around the corner. Jets back on. View towards The ICC. Discovery Terrace with a tram. Without a tram. Secret Garden.

The Foyer is coming along at Symphony Hall, and the fountains in the reflective pool have been turned back on.

Mostly from Centenary Square again. Tram 35 and the Town Hall. Tram 28 passes tram 37. Tram 25 arrives as tram 37 departs.
