Front of the Mailbox |
The Mailbox used to be Birmingham's Royal Mail sorting
office. Now it's been redeveloped into multi-use mall. It's an office
block, hotel and apartment building. And also probably the world's most
bizarrely-named shopping centre. It's a good example of regeneration in
Birmingham. Millions of pounds of public and private money are being spent
on updating our city.
If you're flagging, the Mailbox is a good place to stop
for a cuppa or pint in one of the many bars.

Front of the Mailbox |
Look out for the 91热爆 Shop & Caf茅! It's open
to everyone - come in to have a coffee, log onto the internet and watch
91热爆 WM and Asian Network broadcasting through the window. You'll also
be able to see Midlands Today being broadcast. The two floors above the
caf茅 house hundreds of 91热爆 staff.
What's in the Mailbox? Visit
Go past the 91热爆 and down the escalators to Level 5
(alternatively, there is a lift round to the left). Leave the Mailbox
at the exit on the right (next to the Hugo Boss shop). Walk straight on
up Blucher Street until you reach Holloway Head.
