If any city could be described as a purely industrial urban agglomeration, it would be Birmingham. Unlike the more specialized industrial cities in England, which grew in the north of the Midlands, the people of Birmingham took on all kinds of production, earning the epithet "city of 1001 crafts". It was here that the pioneers of the industrial revolution formed the Lunar Society, an amazing melting pot of scientific and production ideas. They founded the world's first factory, created for a particular production, invented gas lighting, and for the first time started distilling oxygen and mass production of steam engines. Thus, the modest market town in the Midlands rapidly grew into the national engine of the economy - in fifty years, before 1830, the population tripled to more than 130 thousand people. If you are not interested in committing to physical premises here, a virtual office address in Birmingham might be a great solution for your business.
