Hi all....

I lived in Birmingham and I'm feeling rather homesick. Please can you post as many pictures of the city as possible - particularly street scenes/motorways. I want something big too to put as my wallpaper on my desktop at work. I would also LOVE to see some photos of the Black Country, particularly Dudley, Brierley Hill....and include pubs...lots of pubs.

This is a strange request, but I would really appreciate it...thanks!

Yeah I have took some pics. I'm just uploading them now, trouble is I should clean my lens more often.....a lot of the pictures have not come out as clear as I would have liked due to a big smudge on the left side of the lens :bash: I'm still posting them up anyway :)

I forgot to get a pic of the BST site as well :doh: Night shots will have to wait till the nights draw in a bit I'm afraid

Doh, how many more you got left to upload? I love the smudge on your camara - cracking ;)

Any skyline shots?

No skyline shots I'm afraid I'll get them another time.....I was planning some but I think watching the cricket this morning done me in and I was ready to come home after a couple of hours walking round:)

Here's a night-time picture I took last year.
Although, it's looking towards the NIA rather than from it.

Sorry nothingman, I don't have any (good) pictures of roads, but the building next to the NIA in the picture above is a pub, hope that goes some way to satisfy you.

There are plenty of images of Birmingham's roads and flyovers on this thread
