    On the 7th March 2020 I noticed that tram 31 was back in service. This view from Temple Row. I initially saw it heading up Corporation Street (probably saw down Cherry Street or the North Western Arcade). Had to quickly rush to Bull Street Tram Stop to see the Cyrille Regis tram for the...

    George Dawson Statue And Busts

    8 years ago was at least 3 old plinths with graffiti on them at the Museum Collections Centre. I don't know who the two outer ones were for. The one in the middle was from the original Thomas Attwood statue. Maybe there was two Dawson statues?

    HS2 progress 2020 and beyond

    Glad you liked them. Didn't want to go far, so only popped to Aston for a quick look around before getting the 67 back to the City Centre.

    George Dawson Statue And Busts

    Maybe they clean it, but the photos are not looking close at the surfaces. You can see it on free open days there, or on organised ones. On my last visit, I could not see the other statues that went into storage apart from the old Thomas Attwood one.

    HS2 progress 2020 and beyond

    I got the train one stop on the Cross City Line just to see the Turntable that HS2 has uncovered. From Birmingham New Street to Aston. There was initially an Avanti West Coast Pendonlino in the way waiting to go into New Street, but I just about saw it. Got some other HS2 photos from...

    George Dawson Statue And Busts

    It is still at the Birmingham Museum Collections Centre, and has been for many years. On my two visits it was with all those classic cars and fire engines. This was in 2012, so 8 years ago, but probably hasn't been moved Viv.

    Next batch is up. The door - Conservation work in association with Historic England. Shallow End Mens / boys cubicles. I may have used these back in the 1990s. But don't recall them being so small for changing, and I think it was two boys per cubicle. The women / girls would have been on...
