Today an 88-year lease on 47 Station Street, Birmingham comes to an end. It’s a chance to reflect on the remarkable life of this resilient little picture house behind New St Station, arguably the oldest cinema in the UK. What might its next chapter might look like? 1/21
Jez is right. Station St, The Electric & The Crown should be thriving, money making, arts providing spaces right on the doorstep of one of the biggest train stations in the UK.
Brum can provide incredible cultural experiences, inspiration in the arts & economic benefits here.
Dear Work,
I won't be getting much done today.
I'll be toasting Jez @ Bham Music Archive and everyone who's worked so hard over the years to get The Crown listed status.

Thank you @HistoricEngland. This is an amazing step in protecting a humble Birmingham backstreet thats seen, & hugely influenced, all of 20th century popular culture.
