Abandoned
Number 10 in the recent set from Birmingham, UK.
The sense of abandonment is all too evident in this shot of the 1960s-built Bullring open air market, now closed and ready to be sacrificed as part of the long-talked-about Bullring Redevelopment Project.
Pallets lie in the subway along with other market detritus, and the floor, once kept reasonably polished with the passage of thousands of feet each day, now sees little footfall and you can almost taste the grime.
The Suite Centre, along with the other commercial establishments, have announced and finished their 'massive clearance sales', and the tills will ring no more. Even the sole pedestrian caught in shot, cigarette in hand and rolled newspaper stuffed in jacket pocket, is striding purposefully through towards the city centre - there will be nothing for him here for a while.
Commenting switched-off, thanks
