I often go to Brindleyplace but I rarely stray off into that area where the gallery stands &#8211; therefore I found it quite a pleasant surprise and I am sure I will visit it again to check out the architecture and square fronting it.

That means it is not protected by the regular planning laws for listed buildings such as the likes of Birmingham [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=expbirmingham.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1063991&amp;post=35&amp;subd=expbirmingham&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
