Birmingham (the h is silent, and in the local dialect the g is hard, as in Birming-gam) is Britain's second city. It was at the heart of the UK's industrial revolution, and its wealth was built upon the multitude of trades that were spawned. This lead to a massive canal network, with more miles of canals than Venice (though they're very different types of canal). A fact that often surprises first-time visitors to the city is that it has more trees and open spaces than any other city in Europe.
