Why is it called the Black Country?
|
|
By:
The Black Country is an area of the West Midlands, England, west of Birmingham[2] and mostly in the Metropolitan Boroughs of Sandwell and Walsall.[3] During the Industrial Revolution, it became one of the most industrialised parts of Britain with coal mines, coking, iron foundries, glass factories, brickworks and steel mills producing a high level of air pollution.
The 14-mile (23 km) road between Wolverhampton and Birmingham was described as "one continuous town" in 1785.[4] The first trace of "The Black Country" as an expression dates from the 1840s.[5] The name is believed to come from the soot from the heavy industries that covered the area, although the 30-foot-thick (10 metre) coal seam close to the surface is another possible origin. |

lfc, you always speak a lot of sense, you let yourself down with the comment above though.
Re-think and post something kind. |

To be fair all England's cities are the same apart from London which is on a completely different level.

I was on the platform of Boreham Wood train station the gay pride Saturday earlier this year. A **** dressed in just a rainbow coloured nappy joined the platform, a young child shouted big baby, big baby, all very surreal.

Not that there is any poverty in Birmingham , there isn’t

By:
There are no poor people , only scroungers

The only city for me to re-visit is London, different class on every level.
Birmingham needs to learn to promote its self better. |
|
By:
Partly true lfc. I visited some lovely suburbs in Birmingham, i would say only second to Sheffield outside of London
|
|
By:
London’s worse , I have no idea what people do in London to make money
|

By:
I know what you mean. I visited Camden last year, spent all day around the market area, all i heard all day was Eastern European accents. How do they afford to rent, they must live 10 to a flat.

I’m being too harsh , there are some nice people there

I recall I was little drunk one day and crossing the road in central London and someone took my arm to help me across
That surprised me ( I didn’t think I was that drunk ) but it turned out she was American |
|
By:
Perhaps she was after your body?

American women are like that. Nymphs

I didn`t realize Brum was so associated with poverty, always common knowledge Manchester was the poorest Northern town with most poverty and drugs.
