“Associated Architects is offering the public a unique opportunity to visit the Grade I listed Curzon Street Station this month, as it opens its doors to play host to an exhibition of Birmingham’s Hidden Spaces. The free exhibition, organised by the Birmingham based practice in association with the Birmingham Post, will run from Saturday 21st to Sunday 29th June 2014 as part of the Royal Institute of British Architects’ (RIBA) national ‘Love Architecture Week’.
The exhibition aims not only to show some of Birmingham’s unique, inspiring and often unusual architecture, but to tell the story of the people who have built, lived and worked in these places. The stunning selection of photography and media will reveal some of the many hidden architectural treasures of the city, which are often behind closed doors, inaccessible to the public.”

Fantastic exhibition, thoroughly recommended!
Magnificent, sad building. Excellent photographs, the accompanying texts are printed in such small type that they are unreadable – so unkind to those with eyesight problems and they are so badly positioned that even if one could read them one would leave with severe back pain.
Nice building. It has some sort of industrial revolution charm to it. Seems a bit lonely though, all on its own, with only that blue sign as a friend and companion
