The 90s are often fondly remembered by the UK public.
It was a decade of Britpop and Euro 96. This was the decade of the end of Margaret Thatcher. The National Lottery was launched, along with 24-hour shopping and Sunday trading.
Mobile phones, dishwashers, personal computers were becoming more popular. The 1990s were a big decade for Birmingham, when the city changed considerably - that’s for sure.
The city centre roads were taken over by a Superprix to rival the likes of Monaco, we hosted the Eurovision Song Contest and a G8 Summit - with the likes of US President Bill Clinton, President Boris Yeltsin and Prime Minister Tony Blair walking through the streets and Broad Street was transformed with Brindleyplace and the magnificent Symphony Hall and International Convention Centre.
