Some info 4.gif

The British Telecom Tower (formerly known as the Post Office Tower and, before that the GPO Tower) is a landmark in Birmingham, England, and is also the tallest building in the city.

The tower was built between 1963 and 1965. It has 26 storeys, housing technical areas and offices, and five levels of circular aerial galleries at the top.[1]

In 2003, the tower was painted an ultramarine blue to cover the existing light brown which had started to become darker with pollution. The balconies were painted to stand out from the tower in a dark shade of blue.

The Birmingham and Fazeley Canal runs beneath the nearby, decommissioned, Brindley House Telephone Exchange. This may have been the only telephone exchange in the world, under which you could have passed by boat. Brindley House is currently undergoing a refurbishment into apartments. It will also be reclad and will be illuminated from the base.

It is known for being home to roosting Peregrines.
