The city centre has been transformed in recent years, with the construction of new squares, the restoration of old streets, buildings and canals, and the removal of much-derided pedestrian subways.
The city's workmen design and constructed railway carriages, steam engines, and even - unusually for somewhere so far from the sea - ships, which were made as pre-fabricated sections, then assembled at the coast.
The need to house the many industrial workers that flocked to the city from other areas lead to many Victorian streets and terraces of back-to-back houses, some of which were later to become inner-city slums.

 Review | Astonishing Splashes of Colour by Clare Morrall
Morrall's against-the-odds success is even more remarkable considering her book was first published by a tiny local writers' group -- and that she had been writing novels for 20 years before anyone agreed to invest even a paltry sum on a writer who would almost instantly receive worldwide acclaim.
Morrall had already written four complete and unpublished novels when Astonishing Splashes of Colour, the intimately detailed story of a childless, motherless recluse on a quest to retrieve her family's memory, finally was accepted by Birmingham's Tindal Street Press.
Dwarfed by giants like Random House and Faber and Faber, homes of the other Booker notables, Tindal Street's nomination still managed to share the shortlist with Margaret Atwood and Monica Ali.
