its the most famous building in Birmingham called the the rotunda

I don't think that the Rotunda is the one to which bednobs is referring
The Rotunda does not look like a cheese grater

It's the Radisson Blu hotel ,isn't it ?

The Birmingham skyline has certainly been transformed over the last 15 years or so , with some imaginative buildings , like selfridges .

However this - the library of Birmingham ,is ugly , in my opinion

jno
That's selfridges , which is in the Bull Ring shopping centre

It's a memorial to Aston Villa :-)

ta, Bazile. I'm not sure if that's the one bednobs has in mind.

[bednobs]

it's zm and jno's one thanks. I have a squat metallic cheese grater BTW :)

A tip for those who end up with huge long links like the one above, pop them in here and get a nice neat short link.

hangs head in shame

[hc4361]

mamya, some people won't click shortened links as they don't know what they are clicking

[ivor4781]

the new library might not be to everyone's taste (a woman designed it) but inside its fanastic

[piggynose]

careful ivor

[Bazile]

Yes , it is nice inside

[Mamyalynne]

Fair enough
