Winners of BBC2 Restoration 2004 - now known as Saint
Nicolas Place
Birmingham Libraries are proud to have

Restoration series in 2004.
Saint
Nicolas Place is now fulfilling its potential as a heritage site, as
community buildings and as a unique venue for corporate and private
functions. Find out more from the website at: www.saintnicolasplace.co.uk
