Ozzy the bull resides in the Grand Central hall at Birmingham’s New Street railway station. Weighing 2.5 tonnes and standing 10 metres tall, the animatronic bovine beast was first unveiled as part of the Commonwealth Games in 2022 before finding his new home after a major redesign and rebuild.
He’s named after Ozzy Osborne who hails from the city.

Grand Central is the shopping centre located above New Street railway staion in the centre of Birmingham. It used to be known as The Pallisades following a redevelopment in the 1980s and, before that, simply Birmingham Shopping Centre when it first opened in the early 1970s.
The ameneties radiate out in various directions with a variety of retail and dining establishments present, but the area in the tow phots here is the main atrium where access to the railway station is present.
