If those are the mosaics, they do not look the same to me.

The 2017 planning application is for 41 New Street, Charles Tyrwhitt, not the ex-Kardomah corner unit to the left as you look at the building. See the attached.

The 'ghost' that's been resurrected on Birmingham's busiest street
There's something familiar back on Birmingham New Street that hearkens back to the city we were 125 years ago
Is this not the ground floor? Also there are more shapes next to each other than upstairs in Charles Tyrwhitt, where the mosaics are opposite the stairs not under them.

I visited Gail's today for a (very expensive) cup of coffee. I'm still none the wiser. Like Stokkie said there's nothing to see upstairs there, apart from the beautiful carved wooden staircase. I went into Tyrwhiits, which is next door but one and they have those beautifu lmosaic tiles displayed in all their glory on the first floor.
Does this mean that at one time, the KD had a larger area upstairs? And I know it was the place for Mods to congregate back in the day, but that was apparently in the Basement. How was that accessed as I couldn't see anything of the kind in Gails?

When it was the John Barrie shop in the 1970s they the Birmingham Victorian Society advised them on refitting and .Maybe there's something of help in their records (if they still exist somewhere) ?
