Brindley Place is a late 20th century (1990s) construction built on the site of the Fat Boy's Diner (that burned down as a deep fat fryer was mistakenly left on one night) but before that Old Bingley Hall built in 1850 on the site on Bingas Hall, owned by the Lloyds family somehow connected to a tiny bank with their family name(see picture). Bingley Hall also burned down but not before it was closed. It was owned by the city council and was a large 19th century exhibition centre it was closed because it had become too "outdated" for Birmingham's new image. The centre would been used for trade fairs (see picture). Shortly after the fire it was demolished in the 20th late century, it was replaced by the International Convention Centre.
