A new TV documentary-style video has explored the proud history of Centenary Square at the end of Birmingham’s ‘golden mile’ of Broad Street.<br /><br />The film focuses on the wide-open space that is flanked on one side by Baskerville House, the Library of Birmingham, the Repertory Theatre, Symphony Hall and the International Conference Centre (ICC).<br /><br />Across the road and tramlines are HSBC bank’s national headquarters, then The Exchange, the former banking halls which the University of Birmingham has rejuvenated as a new meeting centre and café, and the towering Hyatt Regency Hotel.<br /><br />And on the square itself is the Hall of Memory, which for 98 years has stood as a memorial to the city’s men and women of Birmingham who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars, and in active service since 1945.<br />
