SAVE the DATE - 3rd May
The Birmingham JANE JACOBS walk.
Join us to celebrate the Birmingham buildings still under threat despite public outcry. This will include The Electric and Station St, Smallbrook Ringway and much more.
This will be a Birmingham Jane Jacobs moment.
"There is a campaign to save this beautiful building from the 1960s...there's more to it than simply a slab of concrete. It's one of the last remaining great buildings of it's time."
Well said Kevin!
