Any idea on when it was built and demolished ? The building was a bank. The United Counties bank, The Birmingham District and Counties Banking Co. Ltd, I am not sure who ran the bank in more modern times, it might have been the Westminster Bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think it became Barclays - The United COunties Bank was bought by Barclays in 1916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madannie77 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 A nice view of the United Counties building on an old postcard: Of note are the mis-spelling of the road name and the tram tracks leading into the western side of Fitzalan Square (was this called Market Street at the time?) which were never completed. Part of the Fitzalan Market Hall is in shot as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much has it really been widened, you can't tell. Council should hang theirs heads in shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
