Moby Dicks / Eagle & Ball By Bcu At Eastside Locks

[ellbrown]

I had a close up look at the former Moby Dicks pub in Eastside, now that it is reopened as the Eagle & Ball by BCU.

Here it was in 2010 as the derelict Moby Dicks.









Access to Gopsal Street and Penn Street has been restricted during the many years of construction for the Birmingham City University Curzon Building.

Here the pub is now and reopened as the Eagle & Bull.



Penn Street doesn't finish at Curzon Street any more.
