View of the statue of Thomas Attwood, one of Birmingham's first two MPs, erected in June 1859 at the top of Stephenson Place. The building behind the statue is the Exchange buildings. Despite the reference on the postcard to the Midland Station, Birmingham, the nearest railway company was the LNWR with the Midland Railway being the other side of the station. However opposite the Exchange building, behind the camera and to the left, was the Midland Hotel.
