And thank you.

I also added estimated outlines of the new Tesco store at Spring Hill,
and a building under construction opposite the former Birmingham Mint
(itself still a construction site).

Please note also my recent additions on the block south-west of the
corner of Lionel Street and Ludgate Hill:

again these are visual estimates.

An anomaly nearby, in the area at the northern end of Snow Hill Station:

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.48542&lon=-1.90195&zoom=17&layers=M

struck me this week. Water Street, Livery Street and the canal between
them are all in long tunnels under the massive railway viaduct (the
canal space is like a cathedral, and well worth a visit). Yet the map
does not really reflect this. Can anything be done?

Related to that, the railway tunnel south of the station, to Moor
Street Station, is not aligned with Great Western Arcade. Since the
latter was built over the "cut and cover" tunnel, it should do, even
if extra lines run alongside.
