We love Brum and it’s brilliant architecture
Birmingham is full of fantastic, beautiful buildings. But just like every city, it has its fair share of buildings that some feel aren’t so easy on the eye.
Architecture is pretty subjective, and this of course can lead to different opinions. But we wanted to find out which buildings in the city Brummies would rather not have to pass everyday.
So we asked local people in the city to tell us what they think are the ugliest buildings in Birmingham - and the results may surprise you.
What do you think? Are there any that should be added to the list - or any that should be taken off?
