| Description |
Victoria Square - several days after the Royal Wedding - still has a lot of British flags all over. New shots of the Town Hall from Victoria Square. A Grade I listed concert and meeting venue in Victoria Square, Birmingham. Birmingham Town Hall is a Grade I listed concert and meeting venue in Victoria Square, Birmingham. It was created as a home for the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival established in 1784, the purpose of which was to raise funds for the General Hospital, after St Philip's Church (later to become the Cathedral) became too small to hold the festival, and for public meetings. Between 2002 and 2008 it was refurbished into a concert hall and is now used for performances for various different music types and events such as Aston University graduation ceremonies. Construction began in 1832, with an expected completion of 1833. After various delays it was finished and opened in 1834. The architects were Joseph Hansom and Edward Welch.
