Old Joe

Took daughter and husband to visit one of our youth, who is in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after a fall. While they were in, we walked round Birmingham Uni campus, so we could shelter from the rain when needed. My father-in-law (who I never met) read Metallurgy here from around 1932.

This is the Joseph Chamberlain (first chancellor of the Uni) campanile, the Uni's landmark building - about 100 metres high and the highest free-standing clock tower in the world. It was built around 1900.
