Birmingham New Street PSB (BR, 1966)
Birmingham New Street PSB (BR, 1966) Birmingham New Street PSB is seen from the train as it enters the station. The corrugated concrete Brutalist structure was Designed by Bicknell & Hamilton for BR (WR) in 1965. As the Birmingham Post wrote 'it's unapologetically bunker-like structure is an honest expression of its utilitarian function'. It stands five storeys high above track level giving no clue of the hive of activity that exists within its four walls apart from a small sign above the first floor. It is grade II listed so this controversial structure is likely to remain intact even after it has been rendered redundant when the West Midlands signalling centre opens.
