111 PLACES IN BIRMINGHAM THAT YOU SHOULDNT MISS (2ND ED)(PB)

Only in Birmingham can you chill on a bench with local heroes Black Sabbath, be greeted at a museum by fallen angel Lucifer, chance upon a golden Burmese peace pagoda, time-travel in the Shakespeare Library and find the world’s oldest surviving instance of railway architecture. Brum has been a medieval market town and a powerhouse of the industrial revolution, and continues to reinvent itself today. This book tells the stories many might otherwise miss through art, places, buildings, people and a dynamic mix of cultures.
