The Costa Progress - 8 September 2016

08 Sep 2016 198
60 Calthorpe Road, Birmingham One can only imagine what the district now known as Five Ways in Birmingham looked like in 1800, the approximate date of construction of the Georgian town house which, with an extension, now houses a drive through Costa Coffee. On an island in a notoriously busy and complex road system, it attracted surprised comment when it opened. As a non-coffee drinker, I was more readily attracted by the architecture. The busy location and the awkward presence of a taxi rank to one side make photography difficult so I opted for a late evening shot when it is about as quiet as it gets. www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-216847-60-calthorpe-r... 200_2_P1130792CE
