Overview

Birmingham is the birth place of the industrial revolution and a powerhouse of the modern economy, but it is also a place steeped in history. The Romans built a fort here, and a castle was constructed not long after the Norman conquest. In modern times the city is leading the way with cutting edge architecture such as the Beetham Tower at Hollway Circus and the Spiral Cafe in the Bullring. The book captures these and many more buildings and places of interest, showing Birmingham as it is now, as well as its links with the past. The book contains over 120 aerial photographs of Birmingham taken by Jonathan Webb, with a diverse subject range, from the Tudor Selly Manor to the modern Bullring. The photographs are taken with the latest professional digital cameras and include some ultra-long-lens images showing Birmingham with a resolution never seen before.
