Description |
|
The history of Brindley Place
documents its transformation from an
"industrial wasteland" to a thriving mixed
development. It describes Three
Brindley Place as a, " ...
classically designed seven storey
building ... This striking red brick
building, with stone columns forming
the front colonnades, feature banding
and window surrounds together with a
clock tower, is now a recognised city
centre landmark."
The building features a central
atrium and an attractive clock tower that
has become a local landmark. The
Birmingham Pevsner describes the building
as, " ... The
most classical design, its seven
storeys ingeniously fitted in."
They add that the colonnade that faces the
square hints at, " ... Gothic
and Romanesque," in
terms of style. |
