Would guess a stop for a drink in the cafe. Wonder if the National Trust member card will be valid? Mine expires in April though.

Here's The Roundhouse in the National Trust Handbook 2020.

The water is clean, apart from litter in it. Views of trains on the Cross City Line next to the W & B. Volunteers I think regularly clean the canal (or the Canal & River Trust volunteers does it).

Yes the old Copthorne Hotel will eventually be demolished and a new one built. There is another building further to the left of here that will need demolishing in the next few years.

Towpaths on the W & B were mostly clear / clean in Selly Oak and Edgbaston, apart from certain patches. The Stratford-on-Avon Canal from Kings Heath to Yardley Wood was quite muddy the last time I went on it. Both canals have cyclists regularly going up and down. Ariel Aqueduct on the...

Another look at the Lapal Canal site in Selly Oak from the Worcester & Birmingham Canal below Sainsbury's. Near the Bristol Road. Possible towpath (not sure). If the canal is to be rebuilt, they will need to dig up here and build another footbridge.

The Town Hall was fully restored in the mid 2000s. Wikipedia says it closed in 1996 and reopened in 2007. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Town_Hall#Renovations

Not been inside myself, but this photo taken by my mom at wedding in 2013 in the Town Hall.

Michael you'd be glad to know all the concrete has gone. Well from the Chamberlain Square area any way. The new buildings are much better, opening up the view to the Big Brum clock tower, which was hidden behind Madin's library for decades. The City is going Forward, attracting more people from...

It looked like a modern building. So was their an earlier pub building on this site before? Been ages since I got a bus up there.

They are part of Freetime Pays along with Birmingham We Are (which I'm a member of). www.birminghamweare.com

As I said before the statue won't come back until after the new Symphony Hall foyer is completed. Centenary Square at the weekend when the Big Wheel was taken down.

Photos of the Crown & Cushion I took in 2014. Pub sign on the Birchfield Road. As African Village in 2018. This is what burnt down last week.

Should have seen what they had in the basement, old reels of film, lots of them.

I went on a photo meet to The Electric Cinema yesterday and saw relics of the Tatler News Theatre behind screen 1. Such as the old curtain and posters. Sign for cartoons Tatler around the world

The 11A and 11C still run to this day from National Express West Midlands. And sometimes they do still come in two or threes. It would normally say 11E Acocks Green if going back to the Acocks Green Bus Garage. They are always changing drivers near the garage on the Fox Hollies Road. And before...

Ice Skate Birmingham closed on the 12th January 2020. Yesterday they were packing the parts of the Big Wheel onto the back of lorries. But the ice rink wasn't dismantled yet. Up the Library of Birmingham for a couple of views from the Discovery Terrace. Back down to Library Tram Stop...

Tram 24 at Library Tram Stop. Tram 21

View of Paradise Birmingham from the Discovery Terrace at the Library of Birmingham (yesterday afternoon). One Chamberlain Square complete and open (PWC have moved in). Two Chamberlain Square also looks finished.

Don't know if you like modern street art around Digbeth. But a few days ago got a chance to go around Ghetto Golf before it opened with a Facebook group I'm in called Brumtography. So there was graffiti all over the place. They did recreate The Old Crown there though. I think it must...
