A discovery of original sketches for one of Birmingham’s most recognisable public sculptures is set to be auctioned after being found tucked away under a bed in a Cambridgeshire home.
The portfolio of drawings were the working designs for the 4.5m long giant bronze bull outside the Bullring.
The collection was revealed by family at the home of sculptor Laurence Broderick, who died in April 2024, aged 88.
Stephen Drake from Batemans Auctioneers said he was visiting to assess other related works, and it was a “fantastic moment” when the portfolio was “pulled from under the bed”.
