Designed by Future Systems, architects of the Space Age-style press pavilion at Lord's cricket ground.

alun Posted January 20, 2011 Share #6 Â Posted January 20, 2011 Bill, I see this all the time (living and working in Brum) but enjoyed your rendition... Personally, however, I can nedver look at it without thinking what it will look like in 25 years or so, when some discs have dropped off and the outside is streaked and stained and inside many of the concessions are given over to Poundlands and budget shops... And that isn't just my inherent pessimism -- it is precisely what happened to the original Bull Ring in Birmingham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never look at it without thinking what it will look like in 25 years or so, when some discs have dropped off and the outside is streaked and stained ...... I had wondered along the same lines myself  Thanks for looking and your comment Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
