Photos show inside the Birmingham building you walk past but can't go in
It's closed to the public except for on 'key dates'
It's one of those beautiful Birmingham buildings you walk past all the time but rarely ever see inside. The Hall of Memory, on Centenary Square, has stood in the city for 99 years, with gleaming marble and a stained glass window. Unless you see it from the inside, though, you don't get to appreciate its true beauty.
Inside is where the Roll of Honour for each of the World Wars lie. They name the Brummies that died or were injured during the conflicts and a third book names those who died in conflicts after World War Two.
Birmingham City Council says that it's looking at ways to open the Hall up to Brummies who wish to pay their respects. Currently, it's only open on 'key dates' throughout the year, such as Remembrance Sunday.
