Still Walking

@TheIronRoom @LibraryofBham @Brumpic Goodbye too since then the Spirit of Enterprise fountain, Central Library and Nat West tower—all in this photo.

#PhotoFriday Does anyone remember the Forward statue on Centenary Square? It stood from June 1991 until 17 April 2003 when it was damaged by fire. Ref - WK/B11/8887 @LibraryofBham @Brumpic

@TheIronRoom @LibraryofBham @TypeTweets @BaskervilleSoc Note also the second line, which very closely resembles Baskerville's finished printed font of 1757, but which was carved here sometime around 1728.

#Baskerville 2025 marks 250 years since the death of John Baskerville - Birmingham printer, publisher and type designer. Here’s a photo of the Baskerville slate. Notice the surname is missing a letter e at the end. Ref: MS 3084/3 @LibraryofBham @TypeTweets @BaskervilleSoc

@tania_nexust I remember we had an (optional) silent group presence in the Wetherspoon near the bar… and no-one noticed!

I should just change my bio to "cries for concrete buildings". As I'm now remembering the time Ben @StillWalkers paused during a walk for a micro-wake at John Madin's Central Library before demolition and I had a discreet cry then too
