    Birmingham Visitor Information

    Information for visitors in Birmingham, in the middle of the Bull Ring!

    It wasn’t raining. It was a hot day with the sun beating down. Why don’t more people carry umbrellas in conditions like this? Arguably, getting skin cancer is a lot worse than getting an occasional wetting by rain.

    Picking up the pieces on Patrick's Day

    Workers collecting the fencing after the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork in 2004.

    Notice the lack of clear lines on the road surface of the South Mall, and the boarded up construction site in the background. The buildings might look much the same, but the roads are clearly marked out now.

  • Michael O’Regan in Yellow

    Michael O’Regan in Yellow

    Michael O’Regan has been selling the Echo newspaper in this spot on Patrick Street, Cork since 1969. He was a familiar sight to generations of Cork people.

    I haven’t seen him in a long time, and this photo was taken in 2006. The latest information I can find on him is a photo taken of him in January 2020 when he met the Lord Mayor of Cork, John Sheehan.
