The West Midlands through the ages

Today the West Midlands is a densely populated part of the UK, but rewind the clock to Saxon and Norman times, and the region was home to just a handful of small towns and villages. By the 17th century, the West Midlands - and Birmingham especially - started to grow quickly, with the Industrial Revolution bringing further prosperity to the region. By the middle of the 19th century the West Midlands was connected to Liverpool and London by train, which helped the local population to grow even bigger.

Although Birmingham and Coventry were heavily bombed during the Second World War, the cities underwent extensive redevelopment once the fighting had come to an end. Nowadays the West Midlands are home to some of the biggest event spaces, universities and shopping centres outside of London, making the region a popular place to live, work and visit.

Other excellent schools include Lawrence Sheriff School in Warwickshire, Bishop Vesey's Grammar School in Birmingham, Queen Mary's High School in Walsall and King Edward VI Aston School in Birmingham.

Jaguar Land Rover has its headquarters in Whitley, while E.On Energy Solutions and AAH Pharmaceuticals are based in Coventry, Aldi’s UK head office is in Atherstone, and Carillion PLC are headquartered in Wolverhampton.
