Heritage

Our Victorian past
Built in the 1840’s, The Eagle & Ball opened to the public as a backstreet public house, sometime in the 1850’s.
It underwent a name change in the 1960’s and went by Moby Dicks until very recently. Now a Grade II listed building, the has been lovingly restored and incorporated into the new Birmingham City University building, and renamed The Eagle & Ball once more, in a nod to a true piece of Birmingham’s past.
