Guardian Dog, Beetham Tower / Holloway Circus Tower and the Chinese Pagoda This is the Beetham Tower. It is also known as 10 Holloway Circus, Holloway Circus Tower It is named after the developers, Beetham Organization, and was designed by Ian Simpson and built by Laing O'Rourke. When it was completed in 2006, it was estimated to have cost around £72 million to construct. The entire development covers an area of 650 square metres (7,000 sq ft). More info at 10 Holloway Circus - wikipedia The centre of Holloway Circus was Thomas Gardens. The pagoda was installed in 1998, during the landscaping of Holloway Circus. It replaced Hebe, which is now on James Watt Queensway. The pagoda was carved in Fujian, a province of China. It was donated to the city, and forms a landmark of the nearby Chinese Quarter. It was donated by Wing Yip and Brothers (Holdings) Ltd. to the people and the City of Birmingham. The structure was erected in Thomas Gardens to create a gateway feature into Birmingham's Bull Ring and Markets quarter and was implemented by Birmingham City Council. These Guardian Dog's are near Holloway Head, and the mural of Horse Fair. |
