Aspects of Birmingham

There are now over 25 books published as part of the Aspects Series, each one taking readers on a voyage of nostalgic discovery through their town, city or area. Here Birmingham, once &quote;The Workshop of the Empire&quote; is revealed in twelve studies of the city and its people. Here we find &quote;Birmingham Municipal Bank&quote;, the only successful council operated bank and &quote;Lesser Known Characters&quote; about the city. We see the work of the &quote;Birmingham Mission&quote; and &quote;Birmingham Children's Emigration Homes&quote;. During the troubled 1930's, Birmingham held a &quote;Great Pageant&quote; and as war clouds gathered over Europe, the city's young men fought in &quote;The Spanish Civil War&quote;. All this and so much more is available in this, the first Aspects of Birmingham.
