Photographer Derek Fairbrother took this incredible series of photos from the same spot in Birmingham between the mid-sixties and 1973. It shows the demolition of Mason Science College [on the left] among others, to be replaced by John Madin's vastly scaled-down and de-speced plans for the Central Library. It illustrates quite vividly how much the city changed in that time, from Victorian grandeur to modernist spectacular.
