Bush House, Broad Street / Cumberland Street
Bush House was a large office block located in the corner of Cumberland Street and Broad Street. It was the Headquarters of the City of Birmingham’s Housing Department.

By the 1970’s the land along Broad Street between Five Ways and the city was partially occupied by the remains of the declining manufacturing industries, typical of the inner city, with much low grade, semi-derelict industrial properties.

The building was the first in the street to be set back for a new building line, 45 feet back from the road, to make way for street widening. Bush House was built in line with it, but the street was not widened and the Novotel was not constructed to this building line.
