Lyn, the conversion to flats was apparently in 2011, so before then and after the time it was workshops? Ever read Mick Herron's 'Slow Horses' !

Just finished watching this spy thriller It was excellent with the added pleasure of identifying settings in Brum. The old brutalist central library is the headquarters of MI5.

Lyn, 'Slow Horses' is based at Slough House, the idea being that agents who screw up are sent there until they resign. It is self- deprecating bit like Brummie humour.

But I imagine that a lot of hard work continues to be done in Birmingham to protect us. Just not glamorous.

Brian Cox is best known actor Richard. I watched it on BBC Iplayer . 6 episodes.
Attached are some details from Wikipedia which has info as a TVseries 2014/15 but I have cut out details of the story and places where filming took place in case you want to find that out for yourself.
