Birmingham Central Library, J Madin and Partners, 1972

Although recommended by EH, DCMS said, ‘as a whole it’s striking, but little of great interest or quality in the way the building is put together, and therefore it doesn’t fulfill PPG15 criteria for the listing of post-war buildings’.

Thought by DCMS to be too altered and that there were other better listed examples of this building type.
