When rock was young: Black Sabbath mural, Rea Street

Image: © A J Paxton Taken: 22 Mar 2022

This mural is painted on a blank wall facing a car park between the Anchor pub and Digbeth coach station. Black Sabbath were formed in Birmingham in 1968. They are not my taste in music but are clearly a Brummie cultural icon; see also the canal bridge on Broad Street that has been named Black Sabbath Bridge, with a bench commemorating the band Image
