About Birmingham

Birmingham was a mere market town before the industrial revolution created a powerhouse. Now Birmingham is the UK’s second city and has undergone major redevelopment in recent years. The Bullring shopping centre, the Library of Birmingham, Symphony Hall, Grand Central and New Street Station are among its best known landmarks.
