| Description | From the Birmingham Post 29 July 1967: 'Some of Birmingham University's new buildings seen from the air. The completed building in the middle of the picture is the new Mining, Minerals and Engineering block which last year won the Royal Institute of British Architects prize for the best new building completed in 1966. Pritchatts Road seperates it from the main campus where the old clock tower known to all students as "Joe" - after Joseph Chamberlain - dominates the multi-acre scene of learning. The university running track is on the right and the buildings of Kind Edward's School are at the top, across the other side of Edgbaston Park Road from the Students' Union'.
