This post is going to break all of the rules I imposed on myself at the start of this project...but I don't care!
Firstly it isn't about a pub and, secondly I'll be using someone else's photo!
This photo appeared a few days ago on the excellent This is Birmingham Facebook page.

This is Birmingham is a wonderful place for those of us who like to see scenes of this great city from bygone days and I've spent many hours marvelling at the lost wonders of Birmingham. However it is very rare to find a picture that corresponds to one of my contemporary shots of the city.
That was until local photographer Pete Ashton posted on Twitter about how Moat Lane car park was now open again (and renamed the Markets Car Park). I'd been looking for somewhere to take a picture of the Birmingham Skyline for ages and here was the perfect location.

It is quite remarkable how different the city feels today, yet there is still much that remains of the city as it was then.
