Walking around Birmingham New Street Station on the former route of my bus.
My bus now terminates at Carrs Lane (Moor Street Interchange). So will not see this from the bus any more.
This is the roads that will no longer have buses going down them, as the Midland Metro will one day terminate outside New Street Station (unless they extend it further in the future).
Buses stopped going down here on the 21st of July 2012. With the 6 Bus Interchanges coming into force the following day.
I took these on the 23rd July 2012.
A quiet Stephenson Street. Wanted to get it, now that the buses will no longer go down here. Expect the Midland Metro by 2015.

Towards the Guildhall Building.
This triangular building is the Guildhall Buildings. It was by Frederick W Lloyd, built in 1899. Brick and terracotta, well positioned, and with a delightful mosaic floors at its entrances.
It is on Navigation Street, Stephenson Street and Pinfold Street.

Construction site of a block of luxury flats (le Nouvel Ardmore) in Ardmore Park, Singapore at midday on 15 September 2012, the last day of the seventh month of the lunar year. The construction workers are burning paper (fake) money to appease the hungry ghosts.
The Hungry Ghost Month is held in August or September, depending on the lunar calendar with the highlight being the Hungry Ghost Festival.
A lot more attention is paid the Hungry Ghost Month in Singapore and Malaysia than in Hong Kong.
Wing Tai Asia is a property development company in Singapore, Malaysia, China and Hong Kong with its head office in Singapore. Most of the construction workers taking part in the ritual are Bangladeshi or Indian.
During this month, it is believed the king of hell opens the gates of hell to allow ghosts to visit the living world. It is the only time of year that ghosts are released to freely roam the Earth.
The hungry ghosts, also called good brethren, are believed to be ancestors of people who were not given a proper funeral or burial. People also give sacrifices to anonymous ghosts to keep them away and from harming them.
Ghost Month festivities begin at midnight on the first day of the seventh month of the lunar year when the gates of hell are open. Many temples across China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan hold ceremonies which include incense burning, food offerings, prayers and lantern lighting. Red lanterns bearing the names of the deceased are switched on and remain on for the duration of the festival.
Daily rituals during the Hungry Ghost Month include people offering sacrifices to the ghosts so the hungry ghosts will not harm them. The sacrifices include rice, meat and fruit. Red candles, joss sticks, incense, and paper money are burned daily until the end of the month when it is believed the ghosts return to hell. Miniature paper items like cars, houses, and clothes are also burned as the living want to ensure the deceased have all the material goods they need for the coming year.
Some families eat vegetarian meals and set an extra place settings for each deceased family members.
In the middle of the Hungry Ghost month is the Hungry Ghost Festival. Paper lanterns are placed on the water and burned on this evening. It is believed the gates of hell are the most open on this night. Many believers refrain from going out after the dark for fear they may encounter a ghost.
The ghosts return to the underworld and the gates of hell are closed on the last night of Hungry Ghost Month.

High Royds Village, Menston, West Yorkshire. David Wilson Homes development. This site - part of Wilson Bowden plc - had a comprehensive site waste management policy document. It was the only site to have a written document for distribution. I have a copy and am impressed in particular by their duty of care section.
"You cannot contract the Duty of Care for your waste away to someone else. When your waste is in someone else's hands, your DoC is shared BUT as the producer of the waste you always have a responsibility. Well constructed, unambiguous contracts with people who handle your waste are therefore vital and will allow you to act immediately to put matters right should you discover or suspecct any breach of your own or your contractor's DoC." The section goes on. but this statement is one that should be adopted by every household, not just housing developers.
The new building works at the old Clinic. Though I'd do a collage rather than putting up individual photo. Rather boring otherwise I thought.
I've finally got around to getting my first shots of the demolition of the Spiceal Street area of the Bullring.
It started in March 2011, and I took these in early April 2011.
They will be building new restaurants in this area of the Bullring under the name Spiceal Street.
Nelson's view of Spiceal Street.
The statue was sculpted by Sir Richard Westmacott.
It was the first publicly funded statue in Birmingham. It was made in 1809 by public subscription of £2500, by the ordinary people of Birmingham following Nelson's visit in 1802, the year before he sailed against Napoleon's fleets It has Grade II* status.
When the Bull Ring was redeveloped in the 1960's the statue was moved. The original carved plinth, cannon and lantern was lost. After the recent redevelopment of the Bull Ring, the statue was moved back close to its original location north of the Church. Once again Nelson faces St Martin in the Bull Ring.
Monument to Lord Nelson is a Grade II* listed monument in the Bull Ring. Formerly listed as the Nelson Monument. It is made out of bronze by Sir Richard Westmacott, and was placed in 1809.
Nelson stands with outstretched arm resting on an anchor and with the prow of a man-of-war behind him to the left. It is unusual in design, small in scale and excellent in quality.

I drive past this every night on my way home from work, and I've been really curious to find out what it is. It's a pretty big constuction on a massive site at the corner of Beech Street and Prescot Road in Kensington.
It turns out that it's the rather laughably titled "Kensington Neighbourhood Centre" and it started construction about six weeks ago.
Why is the title laughable? Well, like most Liverpool projects it started out as something potentially useful. This was to be a combination of shops and flats with a housing association headquarters, some PCT (health service) facilities, a council 'one stop shop' and a Fire Station.
Again as with seemingly all things related to Kensington Regeneration it hit delays, then more delays, then more delays, then turned from something useful into something not useful. The PCT went elsewhere because of the delays. The housing association went elsewhere because of the delays. The Council probably vired funding elsewhere. And something that showed promise now doesn't. The huge site opposite this one could have been something amazing - we got a McDonalds and a Lidl. This site could have been something amazing. It's going to be an Iceland and some flats.
Just like everything else that comes out of the self serving White Elephant of the 'Job Bank' on Tunnel Road, it's failed to deliver for the people of Kensington. Call me cynical, but I'm acutely aware that these regeneration companies can only work themselves out of a job if they succeed. That's not much of an incentive to do well.
Maybe I'm wrong and it will be lovely. I'm not holding my breath.
