Birmingham has more canal miles than Venice. It gave the world the electric kettle, custard powder, lawn tennis, and a sound so heavy it needed a new name. Not bad for a city most people skip on the way to somewhere else.
This self-guided audio walking tour covers fifteen stops, from a Baroque cathedral with stained glass that survived the Blitz to a mechanical bull named after Ozzy Osbourne. In between, cross Victorian squares, walk canal towpaths where Cadbury once shipped chocolate, and peer into a lane whose name nobody can quite explain.
