Bull Ring 2003

[ade]

Saw one of the abseilers with a hanging disc on him. They seem to be doing this every day of the week.

I think he was shouting down heads or tails

I wonder what ever happened to these, once they started the Spiceal Street development 2 years ago?

I could well be imagining this, but when the Bullring first opened, were there not some giant blue and yellow cubes where those water features were? I seem to recall they had been put there for an ITV advert that was being filmed.

Those cubes have long since gone (never came back since the Spiceal Street redevelopment of 2011). Only got this fountain wall now at the Bullring.

Lost Lagoon at the Bullring. I think something to do with Captain Morgan.

Looks cold there, what time of day were the pictures taken ?, We are a little short on people.
Look forward to your photographs click and post every trip Thank You

About 9:15am. Was foggy coming in on the bus so got off at the Bullring. It would be much busier during the day when the shops are open. Wouldn't take in the malls if full of loads of people. Plus security guards around.

Model of the Bullring I think from about the year 2000. Between the St Martin in the Bullring Cafe and the church.

wow it looks better than the real place does now. i think thanks for pics

No problem. Looks like it was before the 2011 Spiceal Street development which added new restaurants around St Martin's Square.

Thanks Ell, but where is my friend Admiral Horatio Nelson? Probably too small to be seen on a model of large buildings. I took the photo below on the morning of February 10th 2008, almost exactly 12-years ago. Dave.

Between the two malls on the top of the balcony area. You might spot Nelson on model photos 1 or 2, 3 or 5. You would have to click to the photos on Flickr and zoom in.

Off the bus this morning and into St Martin's Square.

Browns and St Martin in the Bullring.



Selfridges and the spire of St Martin's from the area behind the Thai restaurant.



Fudge bus back on St Martin's Walk.



An empty Rotunda Square.

Might as well post my video of Birmingham Moor Street to Bordesley here as well, as it passed the Bullring (if you didn't see it in the High Street Deritend thread)

Added in case it is of interest. Just found this cutting from the Sunday Times in 1988 concerning the proposed new bull ring development
