Purnell's is Picture Perfect

You could be forgiven for thinking that the stunning architectural images that adorn the walls of Purnell’s have been taken in Paris, New York and Rome. But they are in fact all snapshots of Birmingham city centre.

Dramatic city landscapes, classical stone carved frontages, spires and towers, shot and handsomely framed by Birmingham photographer Lawrence Roper create an ambient backdrop for the contemporary bar and dining room.

All of the images were taken within a 1 mile radius of the restaurant on Cornwall Street within one of the city centre’s conservation areas. Many of the city’s listed buildings including They focus on the features of the immediate area’s architecture with buildings like the historic School of Art in Margaret Street and the city’s splendidly restored Town Hall and more contemporary landmarks like the nearby BT tower.

Glynn said: “I’ve lived in Birmingham all of my life and I’m really passionate about the city. There are so many things that we see day to day that we take for granted so I thought this would be a perfect way to highlight what’s on the restaurant’s doorstep and the area’s heritage in an inspiring way.”

The images are all available as limited edition prints directly from photographer Lawrence Roper. For further information call 0121 693 6693
