This galvanised steel tower was designed by the Birmingham artist Pauline Bailey. The mandalas cut into the truncated pyramid roof were designed by Bailey in co-operation with local elders, mainly Bangladeshi women from a sewing group, who expressed their life journeys through these circular patterns as part of a project called Veranda Stories. See the website of Handsworth Creative https://www.handsworthcreative.com/veranda-stories-pyramid-tower . In the distance can be seen The Sons of Rest Building, erected in the 1930s by a society of retired men.
