Scenes taken in Birmingham on the 21 July 2013.
Scenes taken all around the centre of Birmingham on 2nd of May 2013.
Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands of England. It is the most populous British city outside the capital London with 1,074,300 residents (2011 census), an increase of 96,000 over the previous decade. The City lies at the heart of the West Midlands conurbation, the second most populous urban area in the United Kingdom with a population of 2,284,093 (2001 census). Its metropolitan area is also the United Kingdom's second most populous with 3,683,000 residents.
A medium-sized market town during the medieval period, Birmingham grew to international prominence in the 18th century at the heart of the Midlands Enlightenment and subsequent Industrial Revolution, which saw the town at the forefront of worldwide developments in science, technology and economic organisation, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society. By 1791 it was being hailed as the first manufacturing town in the world. Birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly-skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation and provided a diverse and resilient economic base for industrial prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century. Its resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of broad-based political radicalism that under leaders from Thomas Attwood to Joseph Chamberlain was to give it a political influence unparalleled in Britain outside London and a pivotal role in the development of British democracy.
Today Birmingham is a major international commercial centre, ranked as a beta− world city by the Globalisation and World Cities Research Network; and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub. With a GDP of $90bn (2008 estimate, PPP), the economy of the urban area is the second largest in the UK and the 72nd largest in the world. Birmingham's six universities make it the largest centre of higher education in the United Kingdom outside London, and its major cultural institutions, including the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, enjoy international reputations. The Big City Plan is a large redevelopment plan currently underway in the city centre with the aim of making Birmingham one of the top 20 most liveable cities in the world within 20 years.
People from Birmingham are called 'Brummies', a term derived from the city's nickname of 'Brum'. This originates from the city's dialect name, Brummagem, which may in turn have been derived from one of the city's earlier names, 'Bromwicham'. There is a distinctive Brummie accent and dialect
Pre-history and medieval
Birmingham's early history is that of a remote and marginal area. The main centres of population, power and wealth in the pre-industrial English Midlands lay in the fertile and accessible river valleys of the Trent, the Severn and the Avon. The area of modern Birmingham lay in between, on the upland Birmingham Plateau and within the densely wooded and sparsely populated Forest of Arden.
There is evidence of hominid activity in the Birmingham area dating back 500,000 years, with stone age artefacts suggesting seasonal settlements, overnight hunting parties and woodland activities such as tree felling. The many burnt mounds that can still be seen around the city indicate that modern humans first intensively settled and cultivated the area during the bronze age, when a substantial but short-lived influx of population occurred between 1700 BC and 1000 BC, possibly caused by conflict or immigration in the surrounding area. Further evidence of subsequent iron age settlement can be found at Berry Mound, a hill fort located in the Bromsgrove district of Worcestershire, near Shirley. During the 1st-century Roman conquest of Britain, the forested country of the Birmingham Plateau formed a barrier to the advancing Roman legions, who built the large Metchley Fort in the area of modern-day Edgbaston in AD 48, and made it the focus of a network of Roman roads.

Viva Palestina convoy Re- union Birmingham with Salma Yaqoob
Viva Palestina convoy Re- union Birmingham 21.03.2009
A brief report of the convoy re-union
Around 300 convoy drivers, supporters and friends crowded into Grand Occasions in Sparkhill, Birmingham on Saturday afternoon for the first Viva Palestina convoy re-union. Those attending listened to contributions both members and supporters of the convoy including among others Ghada Razuki, Yvonne Ridley, Cllr Salma Yacoob from Birmingham and Talat Ali from Manchester. All were agreed that the Viva Palestina project must carry on into the future.
Convoy members were elated when it was announced that, in honour of their actions in breaking the siege of Gaza, every member of the convoy had been awarded honorary Palestinian citizenship and would soon be receiving their very own Palestinian passports.
We tucked into an excellent lunch as we waited for George Galloway. George had spent a busy morning on the phone to the media in both Britain and Canada, responding to the decision by Ottawa's neo-con Conservative government to ban him from entering Canada.
George outlined some ideas about the future for Viva Palestina - this included the possibility of a flotilla of boats to break the sea siege of Gaza and the opening of a Viva Palestina shop to sell goods produced in Gaza, as well as solidarity material. George will be setting off on a 'Palestine Tour' of the North America on Monday where the story of Viva Palestina will be heard at full-to-capacity meetings across the continent - including in Canada.
Convoy leader Kevin Ovenden suggested a number of 'next steps' for Viva Palestina, which were agreed as a consensus of the event. These included setting up Viva Palestina as a membership organisation, with a membership fee of £10 and fund-raising to allow the organisation to continue to work on future solidarity including boycott campaigns and aid projects.
We will send out a fuller report soon.
