1) The Nat West Building is up for sale - a sign of the times? Originally built for the Nat West back in the '70's it will be interesting to see what becomes of it.
2) The redevelopment of the area around Snow Hill Station continues apace.
3) Never a much-loved building, most will be pleased to see the back of the Central Library which, according to the papers, is due to be demolished at some point.
4) Kersey's spotted inside a museum shock! This one is an exhibition of olde photos, paintings, and models of Birmingham (both actual and proposed) thru' the ages.
5) Whilst at the museum we learnt that back in 1940 the City Fathers approved a grand scheme to develop a huge civic square in what is now known as Centenary Square. Did they not realise that there was a war on? By the time the war was over there was only enough money to build one side of the square which we now know as Baskerville House.
