A panoramic view of Birmingham, England in the 19th Century in which the Townhall, and The Cathedral Church of St Philip's, are visible on the skyline. Birmingham, the second largest city in England, began as a Saxon village, but by the 19th century its industry was dominated by metalworking. There were jewelers and gunsmiths and the workers of the town still made nails, brass goods (such as bedsteads), nuts and bolts, screws, buttons, pen nibs and toys. larger goods like railway carriages were made and glass making was also an important industry.
