More about Birmingham West Midlands
Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough in the
English West Midlands. Considered by many to be
England's "second city", though this is disputed by
those who favour Manchester. Birmingham is the largest
of England's core cities. The city's reputation was
forged as the powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution in
Britain, a fact which led to Birmingham being known as
"the workshop of the world". To this day over a quarter
of the UK's exports originate around the Birmingham
area.
The City of Birmingham has a population of 992,400 (2004
estimate). It forms part of the larger West Midlands
conurbation, which has a population of 2,284,093 (2001
census) and includes several neighbouring towns and
cities, such as Solihull, Wolverhampton and the towns of
the Black Country.
The people of Birmingham are known as 'Brummies', a term
derived from the city's nickname of Brum. This comes in
turn from the city's dialect name, Brummagem. There is a
distinctive Brummie dialect and accent.
Birmingham is an ethnically and culturally diverse city.
Around 30% of Birmingham's population is of non-white
ethnicity; at the time of the 2001 census, 70.4% of the
population was White (including 3.2% Irish), 19.5% Asian
or Asian British, 6.1% Black or Black British, 0.5%
Chinese, and 3.5% of mixed or other ethnic heritage.
Birmingham is an important manufacturing and engineering
centre, employing over 100,000 people in industry and
contributing billions of pounds to the national economy.
Over a quarter of the UK's exports originate in the
greater Birmingham area.
Birmingham's industrial heritage predates the Industrial
Revolution, and up until the 20th Century the city
maintained a tradition of individual craftsmen,
sometimes working independently in their own back yards
or on piecework rates in rented workshops, alongside
larger factories. During the Industrial Revolution many
factories, foundries and businesses prospered in the
city, including the areas known as the Gun Quarter and
Jewellery Quarter. Pen manufacture in Birmingham helped
revolutionise writing across the world with many
companies based in and around the Jewellery Quarter. The
Jewellery Quarter is still the largest concentration of
dedicated jewellers in Europe, and one third of the
jewellery manufactured in the UK is made within one mile
of Birmingham city centre. Until 2003, coins for
circulation were manufactured in the Jewellery Quarter
at the Birmingham Mint, the oldest independent mint in
the world, which continues to produce commemorative
coins and medals.
James Watt improved the Steam Engine while working in
the city, and historically the largest manufacturers in
the city have been associated with the steam, electric
and petrol transport and power industries. The city's
workers designed and constructed railway carriages,
steam engines, bicycles, automobiles and even –
unusually for somewhere so far from the sea – ships,
which were made as pre-fabricated sections, then
assembled at the coast. Birmingham was home to two major
car factories: MG Rover in Longbridge and Jaguar in
Castle Bromwich. The MG Rover car works went into
administration in 2005, resulting in the plant being
mothballed and the loss of 6,000 jobs at the site, plus
more in the supply chain. Things are looking more
positive in 2006 with the Nanjing Automobile Group (MG
Rover's main purchasers) hoping to restart production of
MG cars at Longbridge by 2007. Another small sports car
manufacturer has set up business in the Longbridge
premises.
The city's present day products include motor vehicles,
vehicle components and accessories, weapons, electrical
equipment, plastics, machine tools, chemicals, food,
jewellery and glass. Scientific research (including
research into nanotechnology at the University of
Birmingham) is expanding in the city. Other famous
brands from the city include Bakelite, Bird's Custard,
Brylcreem, BSA, Cadbury's chocolate, Chad Valley toys,
Halfords, HP Sauce, Typhoo Tea and Valor.
Birmingham has over 500 law firms, and is Europe's
second largest insurance market. The city attracts over
40% of the UK's total conference trade. Two of Britain's
"big four" banks were founded there. Lloyds Bank (now
Lloyds TSB) began in 1765 and the Midland Bank (now HSBC
Bank plc) opened in Union Street in August 1836.
In recent years Birmingham's economy has diversified
into service industries, retailing, tourism and
conference hosting, which are now the main employers in
the city. Millions of people visit Birmingham every
year, and in 2004 the city was named the second best
place to shop in England after the West End of London.
Attractions for visitors include Birmingham Museum & Art
Gallery, Millennium Point, Bull Ring, Selfridges
Building, Cadbury World, Tolkien Trail, Birmingham Royal
Ballet, and the National Sea Life Centre.
