Marie Corelli's gondola
It is frequently said that Birmingham has more miles of canal than Venice. It also has Gondolas - well one at least, moored in the short arm behind the Mailbox. I am told, although I'd be grateful if anyone can confirm it, that this gondola formerly belonged to Marie Corelli and was used by her on the River Avon at Stratford. Marie Corelli is buried in Stratford-upon-Avon, and as can be seen from Image she remains eccentric even in death!

Peace Garden, St Thomas's, Bath Row
On site of former St Thomas's church there now stands a peace garden. Bordered by Granville Street, Bath Row, Ridley Street and Washington Street.
Robert de Lloyd published the following in 2000:
St Thomas's church was one of the two Greek revival churches in Birmingham designed by Rickman and Hutchinson. The Church, which had been refitted in 1893, was largely destroyed by enemy action in 1940, but the tower and the west porticos are still (1961) standing. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/WARWICK/2000-03/0952294736
