ROTUNDA UNDRAPED! 6/6/06


Remember the outcry when the ugliest eye-sore ever to grace Birmingham's skyline was built? And now, if you suggest to any Brummie that Rotunda should be demolished.. there will be another outcry!
Anyway, it's being converted into luxury flats (which I suspect have already been sold). For those of you at the furthest outreaches of the commonwealth who can't readily visit Birmingham, here is what it looks like during the conversion. The photograph was taken from the junction of High Street and Carrs Lane.
When we lived in Nechells one of my daughters called it the "Coca-Cola Building" because of the huge illuminated sign at the top.. sadly that's gone too.
