Wikipedia has a page about Birmingham University
The University of Birmingham (informally Birmingham University) is a public research university located in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom. It received its royal charter in 1900 as a successor to Queen's College, Birmingham (founded in 1825 as the Birmingham School of Medicine and Surgery), and Mason Science College (established in 1875 by Sir Josiah Mason), making it the first English civic or 'red brick' university to receive its own royal charter. It is a founding member of both the Russell Group of British research universities and the international network of research universities, Universitas 21.
The student population includes 22,940 undergraduate and 12,505 postgraduate students, which is the fourth largest in the UK (out of 169). The annual income of the institution for 2019–20 was £737.3 million of which £140.4 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £667.4 million.
The university is home to the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, housing works by Van Gogh, Picasso and Monet; the Shakespeare Institute; the Cadbury Research Library, home to the Mingana Collection of Middle Eastern manuscripts; the Lapworth Museum of Geology; and the 100-metre Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower, which is a prominent landmark visible from many parts of the city. Academics and alumni of the university include former British Prime Ministers Neville Chamberlain and Stanley Baldwin, the British composer Sir Edward Elgar and eleven Nobel laureates.

This isn't fly tipping on the waters, but the end (of beginning if you are travelling south) of the major construction jobs of a new aqueduct and viaduct across the Bourn Brook and the new Selly Oak by pass.[[[2286072]]] by Roger D Kidd – 25 August 2010](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/28/72/2287221_93564b89_120x120.jpg)

Immediately above the barrier in foreground, can be seen pedestrians crossing bridge across 'Bourn Brook' into University campus.Behind there are two bridges, the first is Worcester and Birmingham Canal, and behind that the cross-city railway line between University and Selly Oak.See photos in GR SP043832 and SP042832 for further photos of these new bridges and the technological feats required to install them in 2010 by Michael Westley – 09 May 2011](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/40/35/2403552_8d89fe6f_120x120.jpg)






![Selly Oak New Road Phase 2 - the job's a good un.. This bridge was seen a few days earlier - [[2196345]] - waiting to be wheeled into position. At 00:01 on Xmas day Birse Civils took possession of the Birmingham to Gloucester main line, removed track and catenary, excavated a segment of the appropriate length, wheeled the bridge sideways and placed it on the prepared support columns (constructed in tube caissons). The track, catenary and signalling were then reinstated. This is the view at about 12:00 on 28-12-2010. One of the employees informed me that they were hoping to hand off to Network Rail at about 18:00 hours - approximately 6 hours ahead of schedule. And all this in very largely subzero temperatures. There will now be belated Xmas celebrations for the contractor and a week or so before the next operation starts - excavating the road under both railway bridge and brand new aqueduct. by Chris Allen – 28 December 2010](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/21/18/2211811_b03f61e5_120x120.jpg)
