This illustrated history portrays one of England's finest major
cities. It provides a nostalgic look at Birmingham's past and
highlights the special character of some of its most important
historic sites. The photographs are taken from the Historic England
Archive, a unique collection of over 12 million photographs,
drawings, plans and documents covering England's archaeology,
architecture, social and local history. Pictures date from the
earliest days of photography to the present and cover subjects from
Bronze Age burials and medieval churches to cinemas and seaside
resorts. Birmingham has long been an important centre in the West
Midlands but during the Industrial Revolution it grew to become
England's second city. The myriad of manufacturing businesses in
Birmingham created a dynamic local economy and the city prospered.
Although the town was heavily bombed in the Second World War and
its infrastructure was badly damaged, the city was redeveloped
post-war, with many areas being rebuilt from scratch. Birmingham
continued to be regenerated in subsequent decades and today it is a
powerful commercial city of international importance.
