Hi Roy Ben, in my opinion Aston was the heart of Brum, We had Ansells Brewery, HP sauce,The Golden Cross Pub, now an Irish themed pub, but the golden cross can still be seen on the top of the building, The Aston Cross Picture House, and the Astoria Picture House, which became the ITV studio's, then later BRMB Radio Station, and yes the clock is still there, although not in its original place.
