The idea for a Walk of Fame style tribute was first thought of by a local Birmingham man Garry Raybould, who then approached the Broad Street Business Improvement District who developed the idea and created the name Broad Street Walk of Stars
The first star to be honoured was Ozzy Osbourne on July 6, 2007. The event was held in Centenary Square and introduced by Elliott Webb from Birmingham's commercial radio station BRMB and the star was presented to Ozzy by Lord Mayor of Birmingham Randal Brew.
Comedian Jasper Carrott was the second person to have a star installed on Broad Street on September 15, 2007. The star was presented to him by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham during ArtsFest in front of a 10,000 strong crowd. In December 2007, Noddy Holder became the third inductee on the Walk of Stars which was presented to him on a canal boat, during the Broad Street Christmas Canal Boat Light Parade.
There are now over 20 stars including those of The Archers, Julie Walters, Joan Armatrading, Chris Tarrant, Lenny Henry and Nigel Mansell. The cache is located right next to the star for Harry Moseley, the 11 year old who started the Help Harry Help Others charity after being diagnosed with inoperable brain tumour.
Retrieving and replacing this cache will require your best stealth and opportunism. This is a very busy spot, so take care not to be spotted.
Log is now a small tube, so tweezers may be required.
