This intriguing collection of over 200 archive photographs,
postcards and engravings from collections housed in Birmingham Central
Library, recreates scenes from many of the industries that once thrived
in the heart of the Midlands. The skilled jobs of gun manufacture, war
munitions and car production are explored here alongside the intricate
skills of the Jewellery Quarter workshops and the splendour of Cadbury's
entrepeneurial village and chocolate production empire. From images of
warehouses, factories and workshops the reader is given a unique glimpse
of the industries that safeguarded the importance of Birmingham's
industrial development. This volume provides a useful comparison for
workers today. Made in Birmingham is a valuable pictorial history which
will delight those who visit the city for recreational or commercial
purposes and evoke memories of times past for those who have worked in
and lived around this valuable industrial region.
