St Martin's House

St Martin's House was a feature of the city skyline for many years.  Close to the old Bull Ring outdoor market, it provided a modern contrast to the nearby church, as did the Selfridges store which stood in its place in 2014.  It was demolished as part of the construction of the new Bullring.
