[edit] BIRMINGHAM'S INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE
Birmingham was a renowned manufacturing centre by the 18th century and the city rapidly grew into the primary industrial centre of the Midlands. An account of Birmingham's heyday of heavy industry is recorded and the story is brought up to date with the story of the decline of heavy industry.
Birmingham used to be known as the 'city of a thousand trades'. Ray Shill shows the huge variety of the city's industry, and its development throughout the twentieth century - from heavy industry to design, technology and computers. Chapters cover Birmigham's many trades including jewellery, munitions, railways and rolling stock, hardwares, electrics, food and the motor trade. The book contains over 230 black & white photographs, many previously unpublished, and is the only comprehensive pictorial history of the subject.
