British Rail Goods Office (Curzon Street Station), Birmingham - Birmingham
Terminus of the London to Birmingham railway designed by Philip Hardwick. Built in 1837-8 in the Ionic style. The building is owned by the City Council and has been vacant for more than a decade. Repairs to the roof have been undertaken, and the building is now secure and watertight. Renovation by a partnership including HS2 began in 2021 but was paused in 2022 due to concerns over the lack of an end-user for the building.
