For
centuries Birmingham has been renowned for the ingenuity and skills of
its people in the making of things. Celebrated as the 'City of a Thousand
Trades' and 'The Workshop of the World', Birmingham is now claiming a
new title as 'International City'. The history of Birmingham can be understood
only by recognising those who transformed it from an insignificant hamlet
into a great European city. In this major study, Carl Chinn brings alive
the energy. determination, hard work and initiative of Birmingham's people,
wherever they have come from. |
