Birmingham - Photos aside
the H1 Collaboration Meeting, September 2001

Birmingham City, University Campus, Warwick Castle & Stratford Upon Avon.

I was fascinated by the old - often industrial - architecture and the waterway construction. Pictures were taken with a Kodak 3.3MPixel Camera.

Some pictures open full size (in an own window) when clicked...

Birmingham • City, University Campus, Waterways

   
The Bell Tower of the University.
 
Well preserved houses downtown.

Rose Villa with remarkable clock tower in the juweller's quarter.

Agin the University tower.
 
Brindley Place - new shopping centre close to the canal harbor.

An old factory building.

The Malt House - nice pub and restaurant.
 
New office buildings at the waterside.

Old iron bridge in the harbor.

An entrance to the harbor area.
 
Hand-operated lock.

Sequence of locks.

Basement construction close to a canal.
 
The hauling ropes carved grooves into the brick wall aside a canal.

Hundreds of such stone bridges span the Midengland canals.

Rope carvings in an iron crank body.
 
One of the many splendid suburban villas.

Detailed view of another one.

Church.
   
Graveyard - apparently not used anymore!
