Historical Background of Birmingham L=�� !"#$

Birmingham has risen to i ts present size and importance primarily as a result of the IndustrialRevolution of the 18th century. A nucleus of scientists, thinkers and engineers attracted others in theirfield from many parts of the country, and led in 1766, to the establishment of The Lunar Society,which met regularly at Soho House.

Its members included Joseph Priestly (discovered oxygen), Matthew Boulton (founder of the SohoManufactory) , James Watt (developed the steam engine) and Will iam Murdock ( invented gaslighting). John Baskerville, founder of the world-famous typeface, was a close friend of members ofthe society.

By the 19thcentury Birmingham had emerged as an industrial town full of activity. Noted for its density ofpopulation and variety of trade, earning the name as the “town of a thousand trades”.
