It became the city’s cathedral in 1905. Between 1885 and 1897 St Philip’s was enhanced by the addition of four magnificent stained glass windows designed by local artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones. At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 Birmingham Civic Society funded and oversaw the removal of the Burne- Jones windows into safe storage in a Welsh slate mine. The cathedral subsequently suffered severe damage during the Birmingham Blitz and so the Society’s actions almost certainly saved these outstanding works of art from destruction. The Birmingham Banking Company building Bennetts Hill was created as part of the development of the Inge estate in the early 19th century and boasts a number of fine Victorian and Edwardian buildings. These include the former Birmingham Banking The Archbishop of Canterbury Removal of the Burne-Jones Company designed by admiring the Burne-Jones windows windows for storage, 1939 Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson and built 1830- 31.

Since then, plans have been brought forward for the Paradise Circus Redevelopment (‘PCR’), which will remove the current gyratory system at Paradise Circus, introducing radical changes to traffic movements and creating new roads and access/egress into the development site. The proposed Variation Order would authorise an alteration of the alignment of the Metro for which Centro has powers so as to integrate with the PCR as well as enable Centro to carry out a minor adjustment to the 2005 Order outside the PCR. It would also revive the powers of compulsory acquisition under the 2005 Order, which expired in 2010, and would authorise the acquisition of the small additional amount of land required to facilitate the change to the route.
