Such magnificent architecture!Yes Pen, it was the Exchange. Think it was nicknamed the 'witches hat'. Photographer/artist would have taken the view from New Street,

hi pen for many years i have also felt sadness at the loss of this building and many others and i do try to stop going on about but i cant help it...we can easily see the errors made by the powers that be but sadly they can not and even if they did would never admit it...Thanks Viv, an awful sadness comes over me when I think what's replaced this building.
I'm looking at buildings of stations etc on the cross-city line from New Street to Sutton and want to make sure I'd got the right pictures. The theme for Birmingham Heritage week this year is Architecture so I'm taking a leaf out of the forum book and doing 'Then & Now' for our local railway friends groups.
