| 説明 | Centenary Square is a public square in Birmingham, named in 1989 in celebration of Birmingham's centenary as a city.It is the last of many schemes for this area. As far back as 1918 there were plans for civic buildings to be built on this site facing an open square. A 1926 plan laid down a idea for a rectangular open area, aligned east-west along Broad Street, with buildings on three sides of it, and the open area facing the road. This plan was abandoned as being to expensive. Another plan was adopted in 1944, this one included Baskerville House in the squares north east corner, but these to were abandoned in 1948. Another plan was from 1958, but it never started.A fourth plan was adopted in 1991 and this is the square we see today.Directly ahead is the International Convention Centre and Symphony Hall. They were opened in 1991.The Symphony Hall is home to the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra who moved here from the Town Hall. The ICC was an attempt to make Birmingham and international business city.The Repertory Theatre (aka the REP) opened in 1990 to replace the old theatre on Station Street (now known as The Old REP) |
