Seen many times when I was a student in Birmingham in the late 1960s but today I viewed it from the A38(M).

Spotted from the bus on the way into town. Obviously having lived in Brum for probably 30 years on and off I have been much closer to the building but never in it. Has some scaffolding up today.

I don't quite know why I didn't photograph and log this one two years ago when I was doing a First Aid course at the St John's Ambulance HQ across the road. Not to worry, its a cold blustery day so a trip to Brum on the train was just the job.
