Bull Ring 2003

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.

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

I wasn't quite sure where to put this article but it connects with this post on the new Bullring development.
