These zones seek to attract investment and promote business growth in key target sectors, as part of our strategy for economic growth. With high quality sites that meet the needs of the market, Birmingham can nurture growing businesses, stimulate inward investment and generate much needed employment opportunities for both local communities and the wider region. The AMH captures the importance of the advanced manufacturing sector to the wider West Midlands. The site seeks to provide opportunities for the growing automotive supply chain as well as other advanced manufacturing activity, which is forecast to accelerate given the successful performance of this industry across the region. In particular, the current success of car manufacturers such as JLR in Solihull and Castle Bromwich and SAIC Motor UK at Longbridge is putting pressure on supply chain companies to expand into more purpose built accommodation. The AMH is best placed to accommodate growth in this sector, given its size and accessibility at the heart of the motorway network. Our commitment to delivering the AMH has already seen a signifi cant amount of public sector investment in site assembly and access improvements to de-risk development plots, which will be offered to the market in three phases. The majority of the fi rst phase, comprising 10.5 ha, is ready for development and a major occupier has recently been secured for part of the site, who will deliver a new 10,000 sqm facility and 500 new and safeguarded jobs. The City Council will work in partnership with education and training providers to ensure that future employees are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to secure employment locally in the advanced manufacturing sector. This document will ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to new development. It places considerable emphasis on high quality design and place making, to create an attractive business environment for both new businesses and the wider community. Councillor Tahir Ali Cabinet Member for Development, Transport and the Economy Birmingham City Council foreword / aston advanced manufacturing hub draft development framework 2 Introduction The Aston Regional Investment Site (RIS), also known as the Advanced Manufacturing Hub (AMH), is designated in the adopted Aston, Newtown and Lozells Area Action Plan (AAP, 2012).

  • Soho Depicted: Prints, Drawings and Watercolours of Matthew Boulton, His Manufactory and Estate, 1760-1809
    SOHO DEPICTED: PRINTS, DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS OF MATTHEW BOULTON, HIS MANUFACTORY AND ESTATE, 1760-1809 by VALERIE ANN LOGGIE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History of Art College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which the industrialist Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) used images of his manufactory and of himself to help develop what would now be considered a ‘brand’. The argument draws heavily on archival research into the commissioning process, authorship and reception of these depictions. Such information is rarely available when studying prints and allows consideration of these images in a new light but also contributes to a wider debate on British eighteenth-century print culture. The first chapter argues that Boulton used images to convey messages about the output of his businesses, to draw together a diverse range of products and associate them with one site. Chapter two explores the setting of the manufactory and the surrounding estate, outlining Boulton’s motivation for creating the parkland and considering the ways in which it was depicted.

It will play a key role in helping to shape the future direction of this great city. Birmingham is a diverse, dynamic and forward thinking city of over a million people. It is the regional capital of the Midlands and is strategically located at the heart of the United Kingdom. The city has seen constant and progressive change throughout its history, embracing new cultures and the challenges of shifting global economies and more recently climate change. Over recent years there has been a transformation of the city centre, including the rebuilding of the Bullring, development of concert/ conferencing and sporting facilities and the creation of attractive public squares and spaces all to the highest international standards. The city will continue to adapt to and embrace change, in order to enhance its position as a key economic and cultural centre regionally, nationally and internationally. Further expansion will see development of a state of the art ‘Library for Birmingham’ the new central library, the redevelopment of New Street railway station and expansion of Birmingham International Airport.
