Birmingham City have taken another step towards the completion of their new 62,000-capacity stadium.
The Championship club have purchased one million bricks from the former City Hospital to help with construction of the ground.
It comes as they plan to leave St. Andrew's by 2030 as part of a ã2billion regeneration project.
The redevelopment in the Bordesley Green area of Birmingham will see the introduction of a new Sports Quarter.
Backed by their owners Knighthead, Blues will leave their home of 120 years, which currently holds 29,400 fans.
Birmingham stadium latest
Ahead of the move, bricks have been bought from the city's historic former hospital.
City Hospital closed in 2024 after more than 130 years in operation, having been founded in 1887.
The bricks have been cleaned by specialists ahead of being used for the new development.
It is understood the hospital bricks will form part of the 12 brick chimney-style towers at the new stadium.
Images of the planned venue show the towers on display in a nod to the brickwork which used to sit on the site.
A record of how the bricks were manufactured, stored and transported will also be displayed once the stadium is completed.
The club previously revealed their aim to have moved into their new home by the start of the 2029/30 season.
However, their flexible completion goal is currently during 2030 for the ground, which was unveiled in November last year.
Previous stadium plans
Birmingham previously unveiled plans for a new stadium during their time in the Premier League.
In 2004, Blues announced a proposed 55,000-capacity stadium to replace St. Andrew's.
Those plans would have also seen the introduction of a sports village in the city.
However, the proposals were ultimately shelved, with the club remaining at their existing ground.
Birmingham have played home matches at St. Andrew's since it was opened in 1906.
The ground was most recently renovated between 2020 and 2023, with the rebuilding of the lower tiers in the Kop and Tilton Road Stands.
This season marks the club's second campaign back in the Championship.
Birmingham secured an immediate return to the second tier in 2025 following their relegation to League One.
Chris Davies' side currently sit tenth after eight matches following a 2-2 draw at home against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
