Birmingham is the second largest city of England. Located west of central England on the Plateau of Birmingham, which is 150 to 200 meters high. The city goes back a 1000 years; from a tiny Anglo-Saxon village, Birmingham has grown into a major commercial and industrial city. It has low hills to the south and the west that give good views of the city.
Easy access to coal and iron ore in the 16th century led to metalworking industries. By the 17th century, it was a large producer of small arms. Much of the weaponry used by Oliver Cromwell's men during the English Civil War came from Birmingham. By the 18th century, it had become a major industrial center of England.

Today, the city has a population of about 1,001,000, and a large immigrant population of south asian descent. The city is also known by its nickname of Brum and the locals as Brummies.
