Canalside, Islington Gates
Islington Gates is a new development of flats / apartments between Fleet Street and the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. They have been built over the side pounds of the Farmers Bridge flight of locks. When locks are close together, like these, side pounds [or wider sections of water] are needed to work the locks efficiently.

Farmer's Bridge Locks No 8, Birmingham
The regeneration of the area by the canal here has office and apartment buildings which are constructed partly over the former wide side ponds. This makes it appear as if the basements of the buildings are flooded, or in some cases had been used as boat loading areas. Information from the BCN society is worth viewing here http://www.bcn-society.co.uk/BCNS_Photo_Gallery9.php#Photographs%20From%20the%20Recent%20Past .

The old and the new
A development off Newhall Street, with an old building which looks forlorn a short distance from the brightly coloured offices. Will the new building last as long as the other?
