Date:November 1995

Description:In this 1995 view looking towards the city centre from Lee Bank the green domed roof of the church of St Catherine of Siena stands out. The Roman Catholic church in Bristol Street opened in 1965, replacing a predecessor nearby in the Horse Fair. The most obvious landmarks in the distance are the spire of St Martin's Church and the Rotunda which, having outlived its usefulness as an office building, is about to be converted into apartments. In the foreground is the offices of the Optima Community Association on Great Colmore Street.
