A FAREWELL, and WELCOME BACK.

The Birmingham Wheel has finally departed after giving enjoyment to many people (see http://tinyurl.com/9pz9c ). But as the wheel was pulled down and shipped off to Australia, two Birmingham landmarks made a welcome return.

Going...

Going...

A space in front of Symphony Hall where the wheel used to be. Gone?

....not quite, just a few bits left.

That's all, folks.

However just over the road, a statue reappears.. the one of Bolton Watt and Murdoch.

Meanwhile at Victoria Square, the wraps are coming off the Town Hall, at last!
