JUST look at how Birmingham has changed over the last 80 years.

The picture above shows how the iconic clock tower of the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston campus, captured first in 1938, was originally set in rolling fields before tower blocks sprang up around it.

The campus, designed by Sir Aston Webb, was almost 30 years old when this black and white image was taken.

It shows the red-brick Chancellor’s Court, overseen by the university’s first chancellor, Joseph Chamberlain.

And a row of sports pitches, which have now been replaced, can be seen at the bottom of the photograph.
