<h4>Industry</h4> Billed as &#39;the city of 1,001 trades&#39;, Birmingham was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. James Watt, Matthew Boulton and Joseph Priestley formed the Lunar Society in the 1700s and gas lighting is said to have been invented there. <h4>Illustrious residents</h4> Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai was flown to Birmingham&#39;s Queen Elizabeth Hospital for life-saving surgery in 2012 after she was shot by the Taliban and now lives in the city with her family.
