Specifications
Model 058_Smallbrook Queensway, Ringway Centre – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.
Some buildings define a city’s movement. The Ringway Centre on Smallbrook Queensway in Birmingham, designed by James A. Roberts and completed in 1962, is one of the most distinctive post-war buildings in Britain. Stretching almost 200 metres along the city’s inner ring road, its rhythmic concrete façade and continuous curve represent a bold vision of a modern, connected Birmingham.
This model captures the full sweep of that form. Each section of the Ringway Centre has been modelled and cast separately, allowing the three pieces to be displayed individually or joined together to complete the full 200-metre span in miniature. The curve, the recessed glazing, and the repeating concrete bays were refined to preserve the flow and precision of Roberts’ original design.
A complete three-part cast of one of Birmingham’s most iconic modernist landmarks.
Features
• Solid cast concrete, individually hand-poured
• 3.5 high x 4.5cm wide x 9cm long (approx)
• 28cm in length when all three models are combined
• Laser-etched cork base with building name
• Comes gift-boxed for the perfect concrete gift
• Designed, modelled, and finished in the UK
Made for those who walked beneath its curve, fought for its preservation, or simply recognise it as part of Birmingham’s post-war identity. This model is a keepsake of a building that once defined the rhythm of the city and the optimism of a new era.

Building Information
Location: Smallbrook Queensway, Birmingham, UK
Architect: James A. Roberts
Completed: 1962
Status: Facing redevelopment proposals/demolition
Brief Overview:
The Ringway Centre, was designed by James A. Roberts as part of Birmingham’s first inner ring road. Its curving concrete façade and continuous run of ribbon windows made it one of the most distinctive expressions of the city’s 1960s modernisation. Though threatened by demolition, it remains a symbol of post-war ambition and a touchstone for the movement to protect Birmingham’s modern heritage.
Please note:
My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
