About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details

Originally built in 1929, as a local bus station, the building was renamed Spencer House in the 1950s, and quickly became the central hub for coach travel in Birmingham. One of the busiest coach stations in the UK, it was eventually demolished in 2007 for redevelopment, and the new Birmingham Coach Station opened on the site in 2009.

Coach firm National Express has its national headquarters on the site.
