CONSERVATORY BIRMINGHAMAcknowledge Wikipedia for the following information.

In the 6th century, Birmingham was an Anglo-Saxon farming hamlet on the banks of the River Rea.[10] The name 'Birmingham' comes from "Beorma ingas ham", meaning "home of the people of Beorma."[11] Birmingham was first recorded in written documents by the Domesday Book of 1086 as a small village, worth only 20 shillings.[11] There were many variations on this name. Bermingeham is another version. In the 12th century, Birmingham was granted a royal charter to hold a market,[10] which in time became known as the Bull Ring, transforming Birmingham from a village to a market town. As early as the 16th century, Birmingham's access to supplies of iron ore and coal meant that metalworking industries became established.[12] By the time of the English Civil War in the 17th century, Birmingham had become an important manufacturing town with a reputation for producing small arms. Arms manufacture in Birmingham became a staple trade and was concentrated in the area known as the Gun Quarter.[13] During the Industrial Revolution (from the mid-18th century onwards), Birmingham grew rapidly into a major industrial centre and the town prospered. During the 18th century, Birmingham was home to the Lunar Society, an important gathering of local thinkers and industrialists.[14] A conservatory is a glass and metal structure traditionally found in the garden of a large house. Modern Conservatory are smaller, can be made of PVC and are often added to houses for home improvement purposes. The traditional nineteenth century conservatory was a large greenhouse used for growing tender and rare plants, or, less often, for birds and rare animals - sometimes with the plants and animals living together. Many cities, especially those in cold climates and with large European populations have built municipal Conservatory to display tropical plants and to hold flower displays. This type of conservatory was popular in the early nineteenth century and by the end of the century people were also giving them a social use (eg: tea parties). Conservatory architecture varies from typical Victorian glasshouses to modern styles, such as geodesic domes. Many which were large and impressive structures are included in the list below. Smaller garden Conservatory became popular in the second half of the twentieth century, as places which are part-greenhouses, for conserving plants, and part-recreational, as a solarium or sunroom. They are often used as an extra room rather than for horticulture. In the UK a Conservatory can also refer to a smaller glass enclosure attached to a house. In other parts of the world this is referred to as a Sunroom
