Hello !
Known as the first manufacturing town in the world and was hailed as the City of a Thousand Trades after it achieved city status in 1889, thanks to the number of businesses that chose to base themselves in the area, largely due to its vast water network.
Birmingham is a major city in England’s West Midlands region, with multiple Industrial Revolution-era landmarks that speak to its 18th-century history as a manufacturing powerhouse. It’s also home to a network of canals, many of which radiate from Sherborne Wharf and are now lined with trendy cafes and bars.
