My City Birmingham

02 HISTORY OF BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham was an established new planned town in the 12th century. Historic use of the city in the medieval period was centred around an important industrial and market centre. The only surviving buildings from this period are the Old Crown pub in Digbeth and parts of St Martin’s church, although the medieval street pattern is still used through the city core and into Digbeth.
