SOME BIRMINGHAM MINT BUILDINGS BEING DEMOLISHED

Dan Gosling forwarded a note from a relative in England with news 
about the demolition of some buildings of the former Birmingham Mint. 
She writes: "I spoke to one of the builders who said that the site 
has been sold to developers to build 'luxury' and 'affordable living' 
apartments. All of the factory units at the back of the site have 
been removed and they are in the process of removing the blasting 
furnace. The admin buildings are still intact and the builder thinks 
that the developers are hoping to keep these and convert these into 
apartments. I don't know if you remember the wall that had the plaque 
on it? Well this is earmarked to come down but they hope to move 
the plaque onto the front of the admin buildings."
