Spring Hill Library: the setting
Image: © Robin Stott Taken: 5 Dec 2012
Looking satanic in the shadow of a block of flats, this riveting building is surrounded on two sides by a supermarket and on the other two sides by wide, busy roads and street furniture. This is the view across A4540 Icknield Street. This east frontage waits to be photographed in better light, perhaps earlier in the day. There is an image in Bill Dargue's History of Birmingham Places and Placenames http://billdargue.jimdo.com/placenames-gazetteer-a-to-y/places-s/spring-hill/ For a well-lit view of the south side and a description see http://www.geograph.org.uk/p/2667079
