Bus Pass Bandit: Part Sixty Five - BIRMINGHAM (Bulls in the City)

There's something suspiciously bovine about the Bus Pass Bandit's latest highwayman happenings when he encounters a series of sculptures whilst marauding around the Second City...

For Bus Pass Travels 65, the Bandit returns to Birmingham and is greeted at Moor Street Station by one of many 'Bulls in the City'.

After a rendezvous at New Street Station, the destination is the Craven Arms on Upper Gough Street, an excellent Black Country Ales pub.

Titanic Cappuccino Stout always goes down well.

An unexpected stop at the Mailbox is the Gas Street Social.

Here we find a refreshing Pravha, a Czech Pilsner brewed by Staropramen.

Further down the canal is the Tap & Spile on Gas Street.

Some Holden's Black Country Special and a cob are very welcome.

Our final stop is the attractive Canalside Cafe.

Davenport XPA is available, now brewed in Smethwick.

A view of Black Sabbath Bridge with tributes to Ozzy Osbourne.

And a final Bull spotted on the way home.
