Released by Heritage Films in 2001 in association with the Evening Mail.

One of the fascinating aspects of a long settled country like ours is that every city, town and village has a unique history of its own, quite distinct from the history of the nation, lying dormant in ancient annals and half forgotten chronicles.

Heritage Films has delved deep into the archives and joined forces with the Evening Mail to produce '2000 years in Birmingham' a lively and entertaining look at the City's past from earliest times up to modern day.

Discover how major turning points in English history like the roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Norman invasions, the English Civil War, the industrial Revolution and two World Wars affected Birmingham, and recall the people and events that have shaped its own unique identity down through the ages.
