Hello all, it's been a long time since I've been on this site.
Just to tell you the lovely old building on Tyburn road that used to be the The Birrmingham Bus Garage is being pulled down to make way for a new Colliers car show room.
Thanks to Gary the site manager for showing me around the old place and letting me take these sad photos.

I been around mate. I've just had nothing of interest to add.
Gary the site manager as promised to try and save the Birmingham coat of Arms at the top of the building, which as been covered up for the last 30 years. So if anyone is passing, knock on his door and keep reminding him

We had a chat with site foreman last week and we were told he would let us in but we had to have safety induction as work had started, so well done for getting these photos :-)

Very sad to see. I used to work not far from there at S.U Automotive on Wood Lane.
Most of the old buildings around that area have a lot of history to them, especially during the second world war.
