The University of Birmingham Clocktower
The University of Birmingham Clocktower
This is the University of Birmingham Centrepiece. The clocktower, sometimes referred to as 'old Joe' was built around the early 1900's by Aston Webb who copied the idea from a tower in Italy.

This shot taken with a pretty extreme Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens unfortunately distorts the edges a little bit
