The City is keen to ensure that they all have a bright future, but also that the character of the area is maintained. This framework sets out clear recommendations for the wider Botanical Gardens Area, to facilitate the investment potential of several important sport and education providers as well as Birmingham Botanical Gardens itself. It provides a co-ordinated local vision for the area building upon the strategic approach within the emerging Birmingham Development Plan. It is our aim to ensure that the wider Botanical Gardens Area becomes known as an important location for fi rst class leisure, sport and education provision within Birmingham. This will be achieved by ensuring the delivery of high quality facilities fi t for the 21st Century. This framework will help to secure a co-ordinated approach to investment proposals, assisting the Botanical Gardens, leisure organisations and schools to develop with confi dence. The Council is committed to working with the local community, businesses and partners to achieve the goals set out in this framework, and invites you to comment on our proposals.

  • INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: SERIES ONE: the Boulton and Watt Archive, Parts 2 and 3
    INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: SERIES ONE: The Boulton and Watt Archive, Parts 2 and 3 Publisher's Note - Part 2 Part 2 of our project Industrial Revolution; A Documentary History covering the Boulton and Watt Archive and Matthew Boulton Papers from the Birmingham Central Library concentrates on the Notebooks and Papers of James Watt and family from the 8 boxes of material in Muirhead I. James Watt was born at Greenock in January 1736 and began work in Glasgow at the age of 18. His father was a builder, contractor, instrument-maker, ship owner and merchant. In 1755 the young Watt spent a year in London learning how to make precision mathematical instruments. Two years later he opened a shop in Glasgow and by 1759 had entered into partnership with John Craig. He became involved in canal construction and made various journeys to London on canal business. Watt, of course, is famous for his pioneering work on steam power and his steam engine became known as 'the work-horse of the Industrial Revolution'. After repairing a Newcomen engine model in 1763 belonging to the College of Glasgow his work on the separate condenser steam-engine started in earnest around 1765. Before he moved to Birmingham, Watt’s circle of friends and peers included Joseph Black (who described latent heat) and Adam Smith. Watt, according to his memoir of Boulton written in Glasgow in September 1809, first visited Soho Works in Birmingham in 1767. He was introduced to Dr William Small and his partner Mr Fothergill who then showed him round the works.

  • Manufacturing Landscape: the Representation of Suburbs, Birmingham 1780-C.1850
    MANUFACTURING LANDSCAPE: THE REPRESENTATION OF SUBURBS, BIRMINGHAM 1780-C.1850 By LIN CHANG SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY OF ART UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON DECEMBER 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how suburbs during the British Industrialisation (1780-1850) were represented. ‘Industrialisation’ is well researched in many disciplines. In history of art, the landscape imageries produced during this period are usually categorised and approached as rural/natural landscape painting and (urban) topographic views. However, the categorisation could overlook the representation of the place in between: the suburb. This thesis therefore views the suburb in terms of the impact of industrialisation on the form and the extent of the city, and thus regards the suburb not only as a modern, middle-class and residential district we are familiar with today, but also as the developing edge not only of a built environment but also of a linked set of social and economic changes. The main case study is Birmingham. Birmingham developed from a small provincial settlement into the manufacturing centre of the country between 1780 and 1850. How to perceive, recognise, and represent the suburb made as a result of this rapid urban growth and industrialisation posed a challenge for local artists. This thesis focuses on nearly a hundred topographic views they produced, and argue that these pictures represent the idea of suburb. I will analyse the pictures in a semiotics way. Chapter one begins with the imagery of the town and explores the difficulty of representing the (industrial) suburb. Chapter two continues to investigate the representation of suburb through imageries of Nature.
