More Canals than Venice
If you’re unaware that Birmingham has more miles of canal than Venice, then you’ve not spent nearly enough time with a proud Brummie. If, however, you’ve heard that fact a million times and believe it to be the only (semi-)impressive fact about the second city, you’re in for a bit of a surprise.
Steve Rainbow’s labour of love covers 100 facts about Brum; some you might know, others you won’t. Here’s one to whet your appetite: in 1875, three quarters of the world were writing using pen nibs made in Birmingham. Not bad hey? 98 to go…
