It is a tall narrow building with a pyramidal slate roof that was built in brick with stone dressings for the iron merchants Bonser & Co.

Their name is inscribed on the door lintel beneath an iron-framed fanlight whose arch is enclosed by a keystone inscribed "warehouse".

The first floor is illuminated by a two-light window beneath a broad stone arch and decorative frieze.

Designed by Arthur Harrison, it was built in red-brick with grey terracotta dressings in 1907 as an institutional church attached to the Carr Lane Congregational Church.

It hosted secular activities such as functions and shows intended to encourage church attendance.

The main facade features allegorical statues by John Evans; its centrepiece is a double lantern whose diminutive dome and spire are flanked by lanterns.

It was built in red-brick and terracotta in the Gothic Style by Chamberlain and Martin.

The school features tall gables, clustered chimneys, a tower, spire and belfry; the interior once contained a series of open halls where older pupils taught small groups under the supervision of a professional teacher.

The halls, now divided into classrooms, were illuminated by huge windows that could not be opened because of industrial pollution and so were ventilated by air sucked through the tower which was then heated in the basement and emitted through sill vents.

Designed for George Makepeace by the architect James Patchett, it was built on a steel frame in red-brick with orange terracotta dressings.

The main acade features distinctive orange pilasters and a green-glazed terracotta parapet.

It is the oldest secular building in Birmingham and provided hospitality to mediaeval travellers crossing the River Rea (now culverted) into Birmingham.

A former resident of the Old Crown, Victorian lawyer Joshua Smith, claimed that it was built in 1368 as the Guildhall of the long-demolished Chapel of Saint John.

However, the current building probably dates from 1500.

It originally contained a hall, kitchen and parlour above vaulted cellars with bedchambers on a jettied upper storey and a rear courtyard and well.

Queen Elizabeth I is said to have slept in the Gallorye Bedchamber and a fleurs-de-lis has been carved on the ceiling to commemorate her visit.

The Typhoo Works are a flat-roofed linear building inspired by the Bauhaus School. They closed in 1978 and will be regenerated as a mixed-use commercial and residential development.

It was built in the 1890's as offices for the Bird Custard factory which occupied an adjoining 3-acre site.

Devonshire House became semi-derelict after Birds transferred production to Banbury in 1963, but was recently converted into 110 studios and offices for creative and media entrepreneurs.
