Some woffle via the Birmingham Mail and Wikipedia;
‘A former youth centre could now be sold off by Birmingham City Council following the collapse of a charity.
The Bilberry Hill Centre in the Lickey Hills had been used by the Birmingham Federation of Clubs for Young People, commonly known as the 'Fed', until it went into administration recently. The keys have now been handed back to the council which is to seek greater management powers from the Charity Commission that would allow it to lease the buildings on Rose Hill out or sell them off.’
‘The building was donated to the people of Birmingham in 1904 by Barrow Cadbury – Grandson of the founder of Cadbury’s no less - and remained in use as a restaurant and tea & dance rooms until the early 1960s
The federation then leased the premises in 1970 as its head office and residential activity centre for up to 68 visitors accommodating children's youth, community and school groups.’
Was in the area recently for non-UE purposes and stopped off here for a nosey. Kids and pikeys have clearly been in… Child graffiti, furniture upturned, removal of copper pipping, etc. Power was still on which wasn’t great considering how soaking wet and flooded certain bits were. Could do with it being turned off before someone gets zapped in there really!
Thanks for lookin'
