About Birmingham

Birmingham with a population of 1,101,360 (as of 2014) is a city in the West Midlands, England. Birmingham gained importance when the Industrial Revolution started. This saw many advances in science and technology. Economic development responsible for today’s industrial society also happened during this period. By 1791, Birmingham was being referred as the first manufacturing town in the world.

The Brummies will always remember the years from 1940 to 1943. The Germans heavily bombed Birmingham during this period. Though this caused a lot of damage, the efforts of the planners and designers led to the redevelopment of Birmingham in the coming decades.

Going by the city’s nickname Brum, its citizens are called Brummies. The dialect of Birmingham is Brummagem.There is a distinctive Brummie accent and dialect.
