The City of Birmingham, England in Photographs Taken in Mar-Apr 2010
Birmingham (/ˈbɜːrmɪŋəm/ ( listen),[3] locally /ˈbɜːmɪŋ(g)əm/) is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, Englandstanding on the small River Rea. It is the largest and most populous British city outside London, with a population of 1,101,360 in 2014.[4][5][6][7]
A medium-sized market town in the medieval period, Birmingham grew to international prominence in the 18th century at the heart of the Midlands Enlightenment and subsequent Industrial Revolution, which saw the town at the forefront of worldwide advances in science, technology, and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society.[8] By 1791 it was being hailed as the first manufacturing town in the world.[9] Birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation and provided a diverse and resilient economic base for industrial prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century. Perhaps the most important invention in British history, the industrial steam engine, was invented in Birmingham.[10] Its resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of broad-based political radicalism, that under leaders from Thomas Attwood to Joseph Chamberlain was to give it a political influence unparalleled in Britain outside London, and a pivotal role in the development of British democracy.[11] From the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, Birmingham was bombed heavily by the German Luftwaffein what is known as the Birmingham Blitz. The damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive demolition and redevelopment in subsequent decades.
Today Birmingham's economy is dominated by the service sector.[12] The city is a major international commercial centre, ranked as a gamma+ world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network;[13] and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub. Its metropolitan economy is the second largest in the United Kingdom with a GDP of $121.1bn (2014),[2] and its six universities make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside London.[14] Birmingham's major cultural institutions – including the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Birmingham Royal Ballet, the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the Library of Birmingham and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts – enjoy international reputations,[15] and the city has vibrant and influential grassroots art, music, literary and culinary scenes.[16] Birmingham is the fourth-most visited city in the UK by foreign visitors.[17]
Birmingham's sporting heritage can be felt worldwide, with the concept of the Football League and tennis both originating from the city. Its most successful football club Aston Villa has won seven league titles and one European Cup with the other professional club being Birmingham City.
People from Birmingham are called Brummies, a term derived from the city's nickname of Brum. This originates from the city's dialect name, Brummagem,[18] which may in turn have been derived from one of the city's earlier names, Bromwicham.[19] There is a distinctive Brummie accent and dialect.
BIRMINGHAM - AT A GLANCE
Indulge your inner kid at Cadbury World (link is external), the famous chocolate factory where you can order a liquid pot of choc with your choice of sweet treat added, from marshmallows to moreish candies.
Home to many architectural gems, the futuristic Library of Birmingham and gleaming Selfridges Bullring shopping centre are two modern triumphs not to be missed.
The city is renowned for its dining scene, which ranges from the flavourful family-run eateries of Balti Triangle to its Michelin-star restaurants.
For something a little different, explore the city by canal boat – Birmingham has more miles of canal than Venice and there’s plenty of beautiful scenery to take in.
Did you know? Around 40 per cent of British jewellery is made in Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter. The historic district is the perfect place to pick up pieces direct from makers’ workshops.
You might like to stay here a night or two on your way to the home of Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon, which is 1 hour south by train.
Birmingham is a convenient 1 hour 25 minutes from England’s capital, London.

History of Land Rover from Solihull Magic City creates Chocolate, Cars & Forward Thinking Birmingham
History's great innovators often set out to improve lives. That's what prompted our original engineer, Maurice Wilks to create a new breed of vehicle in 1947. His son, Stephen, reflects upon a legacy that lives on in every Land Rover.

Land Rover Timeline
1860s J.K. Starley sets up business in Coventry.
1884 Rover 'Safety' cycles are introduced.
Starley introduces early tricycles and bicycles, using the name 'Rover' for the very first time. . The Rover 'Safety' was a forerunner of the modern pedal bicycle, and the name 'Rover' continues to mean 'bike' in Poland.
1888 Rover Electric Carriage developed.
Starley creates Coventry's first 'car' - an electric tricycle which is never developed beyond the prototype stage.
1896 Company becomes Rover Cycle Company Limited.
The Rover name is well established, and the company is renamed.
1904 Rover stars to build its first car.
1906 Production switches to cars only....
20 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT LAND ROVER
BY AARON MILLER
Chances are you know that Land Rovers got their start as the British version of the Jeep.
1. Land Rovers have been around 30 years longer than their company has.
2. The first Land Rover had the steering wheel in the middle.
It was modeled after WWII-era Jeeps, because the designer had used one on his farm in Wales.
3. They sponsored the ultimate college joyride.
LR used to provide trucks for students from Oxford and Cambridge to drive across continents to places like Singapore and the Sahara, “for the sake of learning.”
4. The father of Land Rover's larger offspring, the Range Rover, was a jet engine-designing badass.
After WWII, Charles S. King worked with Rolls Royce, and helped them develop their first jet engines.
5. By the way, those jet engines? Charlie built a car around one and set the first turbine powered world land speed record.
Imagine the conversation, Hey Charlie, what should we do with all these spare jet engines designed for airplanes? Charlie: I'm gonna bolt one to a car and ride across the desert on top of it.
6. You could order a Land Rover with tank treads in the fifties from the Rover factory, because f*ck you that’s why.
The Series II Cuthbertson was invented by a Scotsman who figured out that treads would enable the SUV to trek across the Highlands without sinking into the spongy ground.
7. They also invented the Monster Truck 30 years before anyone else.
In the 1950s, the British Forestry Commission demanded that someone create a road going vehicle that could tackle even the deepest mud puddles.
8. Oh, and they made the most grueling off-road challenge in the world their bitch for two decades.
Land Rover dominated the Camel Trophy, which included treks across places like Siberia, the Amazon.
9. The first Range Rover was designed in the 1950s, even though Range Rovers didn’t exist until the 1970s.
10. Land Rover hated paying taxes, and went to great lengths to make sure their buyers didn’t have to either.
11. They made floating SUVs, because of course.
You’ve gotta really trust your floatation device if you’re gonna float your SUV down a river.
12. Their military vehicles make Hummers look like toy cars.
The 101 Forward Vehicle was originally built to tow howitzer cannons, and it’s basically Britain’s answer to the Unimog. It was called the Forward Vehicle because the driver sat forward of the front wheels.
13. The Range Rover was built exactly as the first prototype was designed. That literally never happens in the car industry.
14. And that design was good enough to get the Range Rover displayed in the Louvre.
15. The first 25 pre-production Range Rovers were actually called Velars.
This was only done to confuse the general public so they wouldn’t speculate about Range Rover.
16. The second Range Rover ever produced had six wheels, obviously.
17. Range Rover won the first ever Dakar Rally, the legendary race from Paris to Dakar, Senegal.
It was an all French team, and they kind of ran away with it.
18. Range Rover wasn’t always part of the same company.
When BMW bought the Rover group in 1994, they split Land Rover from Rover, then sold Land Rover to Ford in 2000. T
19. Unsurprisingly, Charlie King hated that Range Rovers became luxury vehicles.
He went on record as saying they had become “an acceptable alternative to Mercedes or BMW for the pompous, self-important driver”.
20. By the year 2139, Land Rover will be the only vehicle manufacturer left.
They’ll only make the 101 Forward Vehicle, and they’ll be used as cabs. At least, that’s what they said in Judge Dredd. Trange, very awesome people.

God bless Birmingham
Banksy has created a new festive artwork in Birmingham, UK, to highlight homelessness. The artist posted a film on Instagram showing a man named Ryan on a bench being pulled by two reindeer painted on a brick wall in the city's Jewellery Quarter.

???????? UK Foodie Tour: 5 Places to Eat in London & Leeds #theambervlog
I hope you enjoy travelling to London and Leeds with me. It's a wonderful and unforgettable journey for me. ❤️ I wanted to present the beautiful scenery and interesting spots in England, so there isn't a lot of voiceover description in this video. Just some good music. More details are listed below, or head over to Instagram to see my travel photos. Bon Appétit!

????London, Drury 188-189 (brunch/breakfast)
A small vintage coffee shop that offers homemade-style dishes. Very generous in portion, and tastes healthy, genuine and delicious! We ordered roast salmon and tomato salad. It's a satisfying meal and still makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
????London, Cutter & Squidge (cakes/sweets/tea)
We found this adorable little sweets shop when we were walking around the other day. I can never say no to chocolate, so their brownie sandwich just stole my heart! Surprisingly, their desserts are not too sweet, but very filling and addictive! Of course some refreshing tea is a perfect pair. Cutter & Squidge is where I would recommend for a girls' getaway or birthday cakes!
????London, Hotel Montague near the British Museum (traditional British afternoon tea)
It was our first time visiting London, so we thought our trip wouldn't be complete without traditional British afternoon tea! We picked a vintage hotel that has a private quarter for seating and a cute garden view. Unfortunately their pastry was not as good as expected, but the tea selection and decoration were on point, plus the service was great too! So overall we still had a great time! Isn't it still a super British experience to try at least once?
????Leeds, Byron Proper Hamburger (burgers/beer)
At the town center in Leeds stands a beautiful red-brick building, and in there you can find some really good burgers from Byron! It's an American restaurant, but their burgers are really legit! I ordered my favorite bacon-and-peanut-butter hamburger and a pale ale from a local brewery. Yum! We just swallowed everything, and we are taking our parents back here next time!
????Leeds, the Alchemist (cocktail bar)
They make the coolest Old Fashioned cocktail I've ever seen! The smoke adds another layer of flavor to the whiskey. I liked it very much! The Alchemist is a must- visit in Leeds because it's located inside Trinity Leeds, has big windows and a wide selection of cocktails. It's a lifetime experience to enjoy a glass of delicious wonderfulness while surrounded by historical buildings. I'm speechless, just love it!

TRANSCRIPT
All eight for a pound plums! Lovely plums eight for a pound! Two for one fifty strawberries!
How long have I worked on the store? On and off, I've worked in this market for 42 years. It was me and my wife. And now it's just me. She refuses to work with me, whilst my mood swings. I usually leave home at about ten past four in the morning. And I get home about a quarter to six. A long hour day, long hour day.
A black chap that works for Islington council, he comes through every morning. He has literally twenty chains around his neck, 100 rings on his fingers, singing and dancing. He sweeps along up the street, really, really funny character. Really nice bloke. All walks of life: rich, poor, all different nationalities, everybody. Traditionally summer was the busier months,but I think it sort of levels itself out now. In the summer, everyone goes to the park now and they go on holiday. Where in the winter months, although it's colder and damp and that, they've still gotta come out and do their shopping.
What changes? Less stalls in the market now. Like when I started, there was probably 30 fruit and vegetable stalls. Now there's only five. The market went from the bottom here right the way to the very end. It was over 200 stalls. There's probably only about 80 on a good day now. Housing and building. Just behind us here, there was like a block of flats. Upwards of 200 families in it. That's gone, which is where Sainsbury's is now. Just over where the N1 Centre, that was all rows of houses. No one lives here now at all. Factories and shops and that. The people 've gone. That's why I think the market is quieter in general than what it was years ago. 'Cause everyone's moved away.
Favourite part of the job? Looking at the girls. 'Cause there's lots of girls up and down all day. The biggest challenge is, not so much the buying of the stuff, it's the selling of it. My most popular items at the moment are probably cherries and strawberries. My hobbies? Going to the pub, playing with my grandchildren and watching football. I don't play golf or anything. 'Cause they're during the daytime, isn't it. I don't go to work, I'd sit at home. I don't do gardening, I don't Do It Yourself, so I'll just sit at home. So I'll work as long as my health lets me. You know, you have got the weather in the winter and that. The cold, the wind, the rain. My bones do ache a bit now. I've got a bit of arthritis. But that's like years of being up here.
No, I don't like being told what to do. Only my wife, she's the only one that tells me what to do.
