I think the Bull Ring was the real heart of Birmingham. I can remember it like this photo with crowds of people and all the stalls and barrows with their goods and produce. If we were going up to town this was usually where we were going. Off on the bus with Mum or Dad. Nan or Gran or Aunties. Watching the sheets and towels being sold or the baskets of china. All watched over by Nelson!

Nice photo. I think it's a post office letter box Lyn. And I think a VR (Victoria) one. Viv.

Great picture Lyn! As a 6 to 11 year old I remember walking up that hill with my father. He used to go somewhere just below that photo. I always thought it was the longest steepest hill.
