For a place with a strong industrial heritage, Birmingham does not have the large range of historical attractions you may expect, however, this is offset by the arts being extremely well-represented. Aston Hall, Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Cadbury World, IKON Gallery, Sarehole Mill

Birmingham (the h is silent, and, in the local dialect, the g is hard, as in Birming-gum) was at the heart of the UK's industrial revolution, and its wealth was built upon the multitude of trades that were spawned. This led to a massive canal network, with more miles of canals than Venice (though they're very different types of canal).
Much of the city centre was destroyed during the Second World War, and the replacement buildings added little to the city. However, since the 1990s, Birmingham has been undergoing a radical change and many of the post war buildings have been replaced.
Birmingham (, lokal []) ist nach London die zweitgrößte Stadt des Vereinigten Königreichs. Sie ist das Zentrum der West Midlands und zählt knapp über 1 Million Einwohner, in ihrem Ballungsraum leben rund 2, 6 Millionen Menschen.
