Smallbrook Ringway Centre
Location: Birmingham, UK
Architect: James A Roberts
Completed: 1962
Status: Unloved by current owners
Brief Overview:
Stretching along Birmingham’s Smallbrook Queensway, the Ringway Centre is a sweeping, modernist landmark designed in the 1950s by James A. Roberts, the architect behind the city’s Rotunda.
Completed in the early 1960s, it was part of the post-war vision to modernise Birmingham with an ambitious inner ring road. Its undulating concrete façade, punctuated by rhythmic vertical fins, reflects the era’s optimism and belief in progress through design.
Once home to offices, shops, and even a rooftop nightclub, the Ringway Centre has stood as both a symbol of mid-century ambition and a focal point in ongoing debates around the city’s architectural heritage.

ALL EU ORDERS processed through our Etsy Store HERE
Our concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
