Do you see the cobbles on the streets? Everywhere you look, stone & rock. Can you imagine what it feels like to reach down with your bones & feel the living stones? The city is built on itself, all the cities that came before. Can you imagine how it feels to lie down on an ancient flagstone & feel the power of the rock buoying you up against the tug of the world? And that's where witchcraft begins. The stones have life, & I'm part of it. - adapted from Terry Pratchett

Spirit of Place: the Birmingham Wholesale Markets site
The former wholesale market has been demolished, revealing that the site is HUUUGE. And drawing attention to views as far as St Albans in Highgate and the Rowton House (I will post about that one of these days). All sorts of things are mooted for the site, among them opening up the river so that it can be an actual feature for a change.
