Blue sky morning at the University of Birmingham past the Poynting Building (Physics department).

Another Birmingham Mail story. "Man allowed to sleep rough". Also it was open until a few days ago, didn't close on the 4th Jan 2020. As customers didn't want them to close and their licence only ended this week...
