Birmingham is the second largest in England. Its historical center suffered a lot during the Second World War, but since 1990, many buildings have been replaced with new ones.

Nowadays, Birmingham is like a pulsating artery, in which life beats a key, and the local noisy pubs, glamorous shops and fashionable clubs support its smooth operation, attracting many tourists to the city.

Two old mills have survived to this day in Birmingham. Sarehole Mill (the name of one of the mills) is more than 250 years old, and on Wednesdays and Sundays it is put into operation.
