Step back in time and explore the evolution of commercial offices in Birmingham during wartime. Wartime Newark OP35553 on Waterloo Street (a42_00411) showcases the resilience of businesses during World War II, with its fortified windows and sandbags. Just a stone's throw away on Corporation Street (a42_00402), the once bustling offices of Colmore Row (a42_00432) stand empty, a reminder of the challenges faced during this period. Yet, amidst the ruins, the spirit of Birmingham's business community remained unbroken, as they adapted and continued to thrive.
