Bull Ring is a shopping center and major commercial area located in Birmingham, England. The market’s history dates all the way back to 1154 when a local landowner by the name of Peter de Bermingham had obtained a Charter of Marketing Rights from King Henry II. Some of the market’s first businesses included a purveyor, tailor, blacksmith, and four weavers. Today the market is one of the busiest within the United Kingdom, as more than 30 million tourists and shoppers visit the center each year. There are magnificent art pieces on display all around the shopping center, including the Bullring Bull, a 1,290-square-foot mural made of glass by renowned artist Martin Donlin, and the Statue of Lord Nelson.
