Birminghams new central Library
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 5:42 pm
The work on the new central Library in Birmingham is progressing very well as you will see from the pictures that follow.
There have been other pictures of this site posted in various other threads and as I posted pictures of this site when ARMAC were clearing this site of the carpark that used to occupy it I thought I'd start a new thread.
The former central Library which the Prince of Ears (Charles) once described as a "monsterous carbuncle" has just lost attempts to save it as a listed building, this one when completed won't look much better it's supposed to look like a cube of barbed wire when its finished so it will be interesting to see what "old wingy" makes of this one
The first picture looks like it's something from a sci-fi show or backdrop. I was fortunate to get a few pics of a piling rig being transported off site just as I arrived, there are just cranes left on site there now but the whole job is coming along nicely, I hope to post some pics when it's finally completed.
The last pic shows the site from the canal by Gas st basin, enjoy.
