The Grand Turk

philm

proper brummie kid
Does anyone have a picture of the Grand Turk, which was in the old Bull Ring, I think next to the Market Hall. You could buy very cheap draught rough cider there. The escapologist used to come in and tip all his pennies out on the bar, buy a drink and take away the change converted to shillings etc.

I do not have a photo of the Grand Turk as such, but it was half way up Bell St on the corner of Lease Lane at the side of the old Market Hall behind the Fish Market. On this photo it the the building you can see in the centre of the photo behind the fish market on the left is the Grand Turk.
