| 説明 | Old buildings on John Bright Street in Birmingham. Was several theatre related lorries down here - possibly for Britain's Got Talent?This is Roseberry Buildings on John Bright Street.Roseberry Buildings of 1902-3, was showrooms for the early car maker Heron, with workshop at the rear. A quirky, slightly sinister design with very free flat-topped gables, canted windows, and a corner turret with a sharp prow.From Pevsner Architectural Guides: Birmingham by Andy Foster.It is for sale.The earliest survivor seems to be Rosebery Buildings on the corner of John Bright Street and Severn Street, designed by Marcus O. Type and built in 1902-3. It links factories to showrooms, as cars were made here, as well as sold, by the Heron Motor Company. This is a typical piece of Type’s quirky and unexpected work, a slightly sinister Gothic block with a corner turret like a small octagonal belfry. Heron, and its successor Mobile Motor and Engineering, were out of business by 1907. In 1913 Percy James Evans was selling his own motor cycles there. By the twenties he was specialising in second hand cars, particularly Morrises, and when P.J. Evans Ltd. moved to Bristol Street in the sixties it was one of the biggest car sales firms in the city. It is now the main jaguar agent in the city. Look at buildings - Roseberry BuildingsIt is at 81 to 91 John Bright Street and is Grade II listed.Circa 1900. Brick and yellow terracotta.
