  Brindleyplace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brindleyplace (often written erroneously as Brindley Place) is a large mixed-use canalside development, near the centre of Birmingham, England (grid reference SP060866).
Named after the 18th century canal engineer James Brindley it was developed from the mid 1990s onwards.
The area occupied by Brindleyplace was, at the height of Birmingham's industrial past, the site of factories, however, by the 1970s as Britain's manufacturing went into decline, the factories closed down and the buildings lay derelict for many years.
