Bull Ring Waxworks

[mikejee]

These are memories of the bull ring wxworks given in 1971. As one of the repondents is talking of when she was young, and she was then 85, I suspect that none of our members will remember it. unfortunately i don't have the original article . Must have not got the Mail that day.

Here's the Waxworks building - right-hand side. It must have later become the Oswald Bailey shop. Sorry no date for the image. Viv.

Here is a Waxworks, but possibly at a different position to the earlier one, as it seems to be in a fairly narrow street, The title says High St. Opposite a street trader selling some sort of booklet by the look of i, though the title says jewellery and studs. Is that a queue lining to next to him, waiting for a tram?

I think there were waxworks (or a waxwork exhibition) at different places and different times according to these newspaper extracts. Source; British Newspaper Archive
