More about this scene
Designed by Charles Barry, the Birmingham and Midland Institute opened in 1856, the foundation stone having been laid by Prince Albert in November 1855. The institute, which offered a range of evening classes for workers, and was famed for its penny lectures, was one of the earlier projects linked with a major redevelopment of the town centre that began in the 1850s and continued through to the 1870s.
