I managed to swag a day trip to Birmingham last Thursday through work. Whilst waiting for my task to begin, I took a few shots of where I had gone. I thought this was a very strange name for a pub. It is bound to be popular with students, as it is next door to Aston University. In fact I had to wait a few minutes for a gang of students to go back inside, so they wouldn't ruin the shot. I also took this photo using the black & white option in my G1. Rather than converting it in Picasa.
Yes, an odd name. Interesting looking building though, and a recognisably English scene.
ReplyDeleteAt least they can spell correctly! Not like those Yanks on 5th Avenue - hahahaha
ReplyDeleteAt least Sack of Potatoes has an earthy thud about it. What's to be made of the Purple Dog, a pub in Colchester, formerly the Clarence?
