History

Birmingham is the second-largest city in England. It began as a Saxon village. In the early 12th century it grew into a town.

In 1166 the King gave the Lord of the Manor, Peter De Birmingham, the right to hold a weekly market at Birmingham.

Once a market was up and running merchants and craftsmen came to live in Birmingham and it soon developed into a busy little town.

Transport

Serviced by New Street Station alongside Moor Street and Snow Hill Stations makes Birmingham incredibly easy to access.

The recently added overground trams make getting around within City Centre effortless as well as connecting the City to Wolverhampton and the Black Country.

There is much excitement over the anticipated opening of HS2 allowing Birmingham residents super-fast access to London – this will really cement Birmingham as a business Hub to rival the Capital.
