A sweet, sparkling surprise
A sweet, sparkling surprise Birmingham is only second to London in terms of population. With more than two million people, Birmingham used to be one of the gems of the industrial revolution, when it housed many skilled tradesmen. The city was known for producing a wide variety of goods : from arms and ammunitions to glassware and jewellery. Today, only the jewelry quarter remains, and you can see over 200 years of golden history at the museum in Birmingham's "Jewellery Quarter." By 1871, over 7000 skilled craftsmen were engaged in this trade. The quarter is also home to an array of art galleries, restaurants and plenty of shops selling baubles and big discounts. Following the Second World War. The Birmingham-based BSA (British Small Arms Company) became the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles including the famous Triumph brand. See this history on display at the National Motorcycle Museum – considered the finest museum in the world dedicated to these two-wheeled machines. Known as a place where "Legends Live On," it's a tribute to and a living record of this once great British industry that dominated world markets for some sixty years. Learn more about Birmingham
