Thanks for commenting, Colin. The good thing about Brum's Central Library isn't the architecture, it's the excellent content - deserving a better home than it has at present!

We've got one of these monstrosities in Newcastle, Len. In some ways the flowers make the building look worse. The incongrous mix of floral beauty and drab, ugly grey slabs.
This is a thoughtful, journalistic stament of a Photo. 7. A lot these dumps are being pulled down now.

Elizabeth - dare I say this, but there has been far, far worse 'architecture' than this! When the slums and old terrace houses were knocked down and people forced into vertical rabbit hutches the face of the average industrial city in Britain looked more like some product of Stalinism (perhaps because, in part, that's precisely what it was - our home-grown variety of Stalinism). It would be nice to think that we've learnt by past mistakes; I fear not...
But the flowers ARE nice and they're not just to be found outside the Central Library but on traffic islands and lamp-posts and in parks and public gardens, so while the architecture may be crap the horticulture (thankfully) is thriving.
Many thanks for commenting.

Lucky someone thought of putting flowers in. What an ugly building. I like your architecture shots. Very interesting. My mother came from Birmingham so it's even more interesting to me, although she left there in 1950. Cheers, Ann.

Wow- I agree- who in the world thought this was architecture?! :) I love how you captured it, though. It should serve as a reminder to everyone who builds- think about what it'll look like in 20 or so years!
