Bull Ring

Bull Ring
a large shopping centre in Birmingham, England. It was first built in the 1960s on an old market where bulls used to be sold. For some people it represents a mistake of 20th–century architecture, destroying historical areas and replacing them with buildings that have no interesting features or beauty. It was itself replaced by a new shopping centre in 2003.
