Birmingham was the chief hub of the industrial revolution that stormed United Kingdom between the 18th and 19th century, and this lead to the generation of a multitude of businesses. The result was a massive enhancement in income levels of the government. All this helped in the construction of huge canal systems all over the city. The canal system was actually larger than that of Venice. Most of the city centre got destroyed in the wrath of Second World War, and the constructions that replaced the buildings didn’t add much to the metropolis. Nevertheless the city has now evolved in a big way with most of the war-damaged buildings having been replaced by new ones. The city has thus transformed into a fabulous tourist destination for visitors from around the world.
