We decided to give this ago after sitting on a rooftop near by watching the site in the horrendous cold wind of the January night. After having enough of being cold myself, Jane, Ben and Aaron wandered over and with a stroke of lucky we was in and it was a welcome relief from the wind. The rest of the building was well under the way at being converted and not worth a shot but the safety deposit box room well made up for it. the shots are from 2 visits within a few days of each other.
History taken from the bmb history page
The Birmingham municipal bank was created in the aftermath of the
First World War as a savings and housing bank
for the people of Birmingham.
It replaced the temporary wartime
Birmingham Corporation Savings Bank
that existed from
September 29th 1916 to November 17th 1919.
The BMB was set up as a department of the City of Birmingham Corporation on September 1st 1919.
The Bank's status changed when it became a Trustee Savings Bank (TSB) in 1976, before amalgamating with the TSB of the Midlands
to become part of the
TSB of Birmingham and the Midlands
on November 20th 1979.
Wish that was real!!!
