Blob Architecture

I hadn’t visited Birmingham in nearly 25 years, but I had decided to go and see the outside of the new Selfridges shop, which had looked so amazing in pictures.

Canals and Sea Life Centre

I parked in a new multi-storey car park in Brindley Place and headed towards the centre of town. I was immediately impressed by the buildings, the cafés, and the cleanliness of the canals by the National Indoor Arena, with its roundabout for canal barges. I also had to smile at the presence of a National Sea Life centre in the very centre of England.

Industrial Revolution

I walked along Broad Street, past Symphony Hall and the Birmingham Rep. The monument to Watt, Boulton, and Murdock flared on the opposite side of the street. The three figures are bronze with a gold finish that requires sunglasses to look at. These men were at the forefront of the technological revolution that made Birmingham a world leader in manufacturing in the 19th Century.
