Birmingham is a city in the West Midlands situated just to the west of the geographical centre of England and is widely regarded as England's "second city".
As such, Birmingham not only finds itself steeped in history, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a small village worth only 20 shillings, but also plays a major part in the England of today.
The rise of Birmingham's importance during the Industrial Revolution led it to be known as "the workshop of the world" and to this day remains an important manufacturing and engineering centre, employing over 100,000 people in industry, contributing billions of pounds to the national economy and representing over a quarter of the UK's exports.
In recent years, Birmingham's economy has diversified into service industries, retailing, tourism and conference hosting (the city attracts over 40% of the UK's total conference trade), which are now the main employers in the city and the city has been transformed. For instance, the city centre has been extensively renovated and restored with the construction of new squares, the restoration of old streets, buildings and canals, the removal of the pedestrian subways, and the demolition and subsequent redevelopment of the Bull Ring shopping centre, which now includes the architecturally unique Selfridges building.
Nevertheless, the "older" Birmingham is still evident. Examples from the medieval, Tudor and Georgian eras include St. Martin's Church in the Bullring, the Old Crown public house, the Saracen's Head public house, the Old Grammar School in Kings Norton, Blakesley Hall in Yardley, St. Philip's Cathedral, St. Paul's Church in St. Paul's Square and Soho House in Handsworth.
