I believe the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) that occupies the buildings both side of Edmund Street in the pictures above, have put in a request for Lottery / Council / Government funding. One of the plans is to put a roof over this area in Edmund Street and provide a new entrance to...

This is view 27 and only two pictures in this set. This is View 27 picture 1 and was taken in July 1988. Continuing my walk up Sheepcote Street, from North to South (see views 17 and 20 to 26). This picture was taken at the Southern end of Sheepcote Street, near Broad Street, but now I have...

This is View 26 picture 2, and again a fairly up to date picture, the view as it was April 2010. A huge amount of change. You can see the Crescent Theatre on the left, and the City Inn hotel (now the Hilton Garden Inn) straight in front. Behind these buildings (to the left) is the rest of...

Do you plan to sell your car and buy a horse instead?

This is View 24 & View 25 Picture 3. It is roughly the same view as above but taken on 17th April 2010, about 20 years after the photos above. You may need to scroll across to see the whole picture. As you can see by the position of the canal, I have had to move to the left to take this...

This picture below is View 24 Picture 2 and View 25 Picture 2 stitched together. You will probably need to scroll across to see the whole picture. The two original pictures were posted above, and were both taken in August 1989. This shows an almost complete panorama of Brindley Place before...

View 25, Picture 2. Same view as above, but now August 1989, just over a year later. Again, very similar to View 24 above, I just moved the camera round a little to the right, showing more of the Brindley Place site. You can now clearly see the Hyatt Hotel being built in the distance. Because...

If that is a Facebook page I think I may have posted my photos there a couple of years ago.

Herbert Manzoni was that son of an Italian immigrant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Manzoni Phil, maybe you can explain your comment "On the whole he didn't do too bad a job of it" As far as I can see he knocked down many fine buildings (Josiah Mason College for one), put huge roads...

View 24 Picture 1. Same view as above, but now August 1989, just over a year later. The Convention Centre and Symphony Hall now taking shape, and is that the Hyatt Hotel on the very right? I do have a photograph from 2010 of this view (or as best as I can get), but will post it AFTER posting...

This is View 23 picture 2, this picture was taken in April 2010. A huge amount of change. You can see the modern flats on the left, and the back of the Brindley Place complex is on the right. The large brick wall on the right of the picture is the back of the Crescent theatre. At the end of...

Yes I was also going to suggest looking in Group Policy. This is not available in the "Home" version of Windows but it is in the "Pro" version which you say you are running.

This is view 23 and only two pictures in this set. This is View 23 picture 1. This picture was taken in July 1988. This continues my walk up Sheepcote Street (see views 17, 20, 21, 22 for more views from Sheepcote Street). This picture was taken roughly half way up Sheepcote Street (fairly...

This is View 22 picture 2, and this picture was taken in January 2010. Quite a lot of change. You can see the modern flats on the left (the canal runs alongside them, see View 20 Picture 3), and the square terracotta Hilton Garden Inn hotel building (as it is called now) in the distance...

This is view 22 and only two pictures in this set. This is View 22 picture 1. This picture was taken in July 1988. It was taken at the Northern end of Sheepcote Street, looking at the Eastern side of the road, the picture facing South towards Broad Street. Here is a small map showing where I...
