Picture from 1963, John.No mistaking the period of this B&W photo. It’s 1965 as Birmingham was undergoing massive redevelopment. The top floor of the 22 storey Rotunda had been let but very little lower down. This photo illustrates how dominant and striking the Rotunda had become as a landmark. Two shoppers were descending into the depths of one of the many subways created in Birmingham around the same period. Viv.

Viv, You can stay the night in various apartments or rent workspace. The views are spectacular from the upper stories. £399 for tonight Weds 30th Aug. An expensive city break. I visited a friend who was poet in residence. I didn't book in for the night. DerekCanadian Immigration must have been one of the early occupants of offices in the Rotunda. Is the buikding now all residential ? Viv

Me too Viv! A shame, because I should love to stay there as I'm sure would many of us. But not at those prices.Wow, a lot of money Derek ! Think I shall pass on that one even if the views are good.
