The building we loved to hate, Digbeth Coach Station closed on the 12th November 2007. The coach station was famous for it's draughty barn-style interior and infamous for lurking clampers waiting for unsuspecting drivers to offload passengers with their luggage.On Saturday the 17th November National Express hosted a party to say farewell to the building. Amongst the displays and activities were a variety of old coaches, side-stalls selling memorabilia, model buses and other goods, and traditional folk music filled the air to add to the atmosphere.
The BBC's Ashley Blake and Radio WM's Ed Doolan made guest appearances.
The party was brought to an end by some fireworks.
