Tram 35 arrives at Town Hall Tram Stop on Paradise Street.

There isn't much to see from Curzon Street. Was various signs "Private property keep out no trespassing". Or something like that. Then again those signs have been there for years.

I was a member of the Brumtography photography group that visited on Monday. Here's my post on Birmingham We Are. History post 1909 mostly taken from Wikipedia. Joseph Cohen was the same Joseph Cohen who was named after at the Joseph Cohen Hall at Birmingham Singers Hill Synagogue...

I thought it would never happen after the last decade of inactivity there. The other Eastside Locks plots need building on as well.

I hope they reopen it up as something such as a shop or cafe. After all that pub on Gopsal Street was reopened / restored as a student pub.

I walked from the Gun Quarter to Eastside via the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal and Digbeth Branch Canal, getting off at Penn Street, when I saw the Lock Keepers Cottage again at Belmont Row. It now has street art that I think is by Lucy McLauchlan. From the Digbeth Branch Canal. From Belmont...

Got some photos of the Belmont Row Works with scaffolding after a walk around the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal and Digbeth Branch Canal (Gun Quarter to Eastside). Some maps are saying where I got off was Penn Street and Gopsal Street. Another map shows Pitt Street instead of Penn Street.

Canal Office on Fazeley Street, Digbeth a few weeks ago. A street art mural was being painted. I returned to see how it turned out. In a hostile Environment, Respectability will not save you 122 Fazeley Street. The buildings are now part of Grand Union Studios.

BBC Breakfast sent Ben Thompson there this morning.

Views from Moor Street Car Park in the fog. Towards Latif's Clayton Hotel will be getting an extension. Bit hard to see, but was yellow diggers behind the Avanti West Coat Pendolino's heading in and out of Birmingham New Street.

No problem. Hopefully it won't be too long before those fences go where Ice Skate Birmingham was. Assume they will finish whatever it is they are doing at the weekend.

Holliday Street Aqueduct. Mainly to see what it was like with 3 Arena Central above. I noticed metal fatigue as I went past.

They are still taking down parts of Ice Skate Birmingham. The ice rink has gone. Almost back to normal. Blocked off this way to the Library from the tram stop. You have to head past the site where the Big Wheel was formerly. Turn right past the Symphony Hall foyer refurb works which...

Site of One Centenary Way from Centenary Square.

Chamberlain Square seen from Victoria Square as they relay the steps around the square. Still hard to see what's going on behind the fences when you walk past along Centenary Way.

The chapel of King Edward's School was moved to the Edgbaston site. Other bits and pieces may have moved to Edgbaston as well. Seen in 2008 Apparently the old building was "a fire risk".

King Edward House on New Street. It might get turned into a hotel. Was built in 1936-7. Replacing King Edward's School of 1552 - 1936 (including Charles Barry's school buildings of 1833-7).

They aren't extending it to Harborne. Just as far as 54 Hagley Road in Edgbaston, and no further. Get the 23 or 24 buses to Harborne.

You can walk around near the temporary Symphony Hall path. Or near the Hall of Memory. Photos coming later in the Centenary Square thread. Also one path on Broad Street past Symphony Hall is closed.
