Spring Hill Library: the setting
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

Spring Hill Library, Hockley Birmingham
The foundation stone for this library was laid in April 1891. The library was designed by the Birmingham architects Martin & Chamberlain and built by Sapcote & Sons at a cost (including fittings) of £5,996. It is constructed of red brick and terracotta with a clock tower 65 feet high. The interior vaulted space is 48 by 43 feet with a gallery running along two sides. Well worth a visit.

Properties on Summer Hill Road, Ladywood
The Rainbow Cantonese Restaurant glows alongside a metal box which may be a nightclub entrance, and a typical old small works or factory. This is the edge of the Jewellery Quarter.

Car park of Primecare, Summer Hill Road
The facility appears to be the extensive low-rise new building out-of-shot left. Judging by the sign at the gate, Primecare operates under the banner of Birmingham and Solihull NHS (and, in very small print, Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust).
