Spirit of Place: 1901 Postcard from Birmingham

And of course nothing has changed since then, either in favourable comparison to the capital or in slumminess! That said Inexplicable has a soft spot for the Old Square and this card shows what the houses were demolished to build.

  1. Well, yes, I did rather like the Old Square, but the Newbury's building is quite magnificent.

    I have just googled (Binged, really) the Old Square to remind myself what it looks like now, and it appears to be full of buses!
