And the fence that surrounds the construction site is also used as a makeshift gallery:

    I'm remembering some fictional detective as having a connection to Birmingham, but (except for Arthur Conan Doyle beginning his writing career there, I think) I can't find it. I've learned something about Birmingham (and my faulty memory) while trying to find it. Birmingham's a lot bigger than I thought.

      Tolkien grew up in Birmingham, and Barbara Cartland was born there. The Dalziel & Pascoe series was filmed there, if I remember correctly. And yes, it´s big. Larger than Stockholm! Sweden is a tiny country and sparsely populated, which we are often reminded of when we travel.

      Thank you! I knew there were connections and couldn't for the life of me find anything! My poor brain thanks you :)
