'BISHOP'S HOUSE'......Designed by Augustus Welby Pugin in 1840 as the residence of Thomas Walsh, the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Birmingham. It was across the road from St Chad's Cathedral, on the corner of Bath Street and Weaman Street. The house was demolished in 1959, after Birmingham City Engineer (Herbert Manzoni....and the City Council) demanded that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham pay for any alterations necessary to the city's inner ring road scheme in order to preserve the building. A Pugin design ....lost forever!!!!! '
