Birmingham - Britain's second largest city - lies in the heart of the country. The Lunar Society, including luminaries such as Erasmus Darwin and James Watt, met regularly at industrialist Matthew Boulton's Soho House. Nicknamed the 'city of a thousand trades', it became the workshop of England in the Industrial Revolution and, as the centre of the Enlightenment in the Midlands, was a hotbed of scientific thinking and technological innovation.
In A-Z of Birmingham Andrew Homer The Cadbury family's Arts and Crafts model village of Bournville, built for their workers, is sought after today, and although many famous industries associated with Birmingham - from Bird's custard to BSA armaments and motorcycles - have gone, the eclectic Jewellery Quarter remains and a resurgent Birmingham is typified by its 1960s Rotunda, rebuilt Bullring and renovated old canal area around Gas Street Basin.
