Wednesday rain down Centenary Way.

New Street in the rain today. Close to Bella Italia, Boots and Ask Italian. Just beyond the Piccadilly Arcade and Bennetts Hill towards the Town Hall and Victoria Square.

Got another photo of The Brewer & Baker coming home on the bus today. Fly tipping in the car park to the left.

There is now a canopy at the back. I think they are turning it into a temporary outdoor cinema? View off Poplar Road. The Kingsway seen from the High Street in Kings Heath with lovely street art of dancers. Even the door has been painted on.

Two Chamberlain Square from what was Edmund Street leading into what is now Centenary Way. Town Hall and the Chamberlain Memorial.

1 to 5 Bennetts Hill. 5th March 2019. The Barber House had moved out. 16th August 2020. The new 103 Colmore Row seen to the right in the misty weather.

Symphony Hall which opened back in 1991 is almost 30 years old, and they decided that they needed to have a new modern foyer. Probably more room for guests. If you want to go back to the Bingley Hall, remember it was burnt down in 1984! Sunday view. It's called progress. In the post war...

It's the Blockbusters buildings next to the TETRIS building (Holiday Inn Express). They must have finished it in the last 5 months, although the lower floors haven't been cladded yet.

Can't find any other relevant thread so will post this here. Saw this building from Trent Street on Coventry Street. Turns out it was the former Birmingham Battery and Metal Works at 38 Coventry Street in Digbeth. Established in 1836. But the engine house was built in 1838 with the chimney...

Walked along Vyse Street in the Jewellery Quarter yesterday, and the railings have been repainted red. The stonework looks new.

Got that old house from Holliday Street near the aqueduct in this shot of the new 3 Arena Central. Close to Bridge Street.

Those were the anti terror barriers installed a few years ago. To prevent someone driving into the Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market. They sometimes plant flowers there to make it look nice.

I had to keep stopping to let the cyclists past me. They sometimes rang their bell. Try to. Move closer to the grass near the fence or brick wall.

No problem Richard. The towpath in the tunnel was widened. I last saw a canoe on the Stratford Canal on the Edstone Aqueduct a couple of months ago.

Photo 1 in #73 is labelled Olton. Which it is. Old Warwick Road still exists. The Olton Clock Tower, seen 10 years ago is at the junction.

Yeah #74 is the Stratford Road junction with Warwick Road in Sparkhill. Except that corner turret tower has long gone. Now a Portuguese restaurant called Farro's. It was closed for the best part of a decade due to two fires, when before it was The President Restaurant. Also the William Bloye...

Crane gone up this past weekend for One Centenary Way. Which will take 2 years to build. Photos from Friday in Centenary Square. Also visible from Suffolk Street Queensway Plus one from yesterday.
