Birmingham Proof House LogoPanning to the right the first tall building on the horizon is the famous Rotunda building. The red brick elevation on the canal is the rear of The Birmingham Gun Barrel Proof House built in 1813. The more elegant frontage can be seen from the train entering New Street station. The MultiMap shows no canal, but this was once a very busy point on the canal system where 4 canals meet. All guns in Britain are proofed and tested at either The Birmingham Proof House or in London; see also Wikipedia - The Birmingham Proof House and Gun Quarter, Birmingham, Virtual Brum - Proof House.
