Birmingham. Staying Put.

A few more pictures of our trip up Farmers Bridge.



Through this enormous cavern below the shops were a lot of gated archways, as this is Livery bridge could they have been for the horses?

The top end had this over the top set of steps up to the place to spend your money.

This is a very small part of an elaborate mural next to one of the locks, this bit has the "Rocket" depicted and what might be a Bull.

Still some way to go from here, but it was a very interesting trip.

Reading the local paper, a lad who scratched the Bronze Bull with his key ring because he was bored, is being sent from the magistrates court to the crown court for sentencing.

The scratch is about a 3cm long, removing the Bull for repair is where the costs mount up.

That sort of anti vandal policy is probably why you can moor and visit Birmingham safely now.

On the move again tomorrow............................
