What comes to mind when you think of Birmingham?

Sorry, just one more. Look at the building that was opposite the town hall - the Old Library - it was stunning, yet demolished. Demolished because it couldn't hold enough books. So sad. Why is it that Birmingham and the folks who run it will always prefer to replace something completely instead of utilizing what already exists? I could name a plethora of great buildings that are no longer here, replaced by domes and metal and fake 'futurism'.... I could go on about this for hours but I won't. rant over!

One of my bugbears about Birmingham (and most of the West Midlands). So much history here, but the councils always seem very quick to get rid of it - especially anything to do with industry.

Such a shame as when done right re-appointed buildings are amazing - Custard Factory in Brum, Lighthouse in Wolvo are both great spaces.
