Birmingham�s surrounding hills comprise the only place in the world with a plentiful supply of all the ingredients for iron making. This spurred the city of Birmingham�s charter in 1871 around the crossing of two railroads. The city�s development into a leading industrial center is shown here in photographs and postcard views, some a century old.
