Cheap Birmingham Flights
The second-largest city in England, Birmingham is an industrial icon. Brum, as it’s affectionately known, has attempting all forms of manufacturing, giving rise to its claim as being “the city of 1001 trades”. The pioneers of the Industrial Revolution rose from this city to give birth to such things as the world’s first purpose-built factory, the distillation of oxygen, the invention of gas lighting and the mass production of the steam engine. But industry isn’t the only focus in Birmingham. The city has managed to re-invent itself as a youthful, cultural attraction. Huge regeneration projects have been implemented and much of the industrial landscape has been transformed into trendy shops, vibrant pubs and buzzing nightspots. Book a flight to Birmingham UK
