Birmingham remains the chief centre of Britain’s light and medium industry and is still sometimes described as “the city of 1,001 different trades.” The key to its economic success was thediversityof its industrial base, though it has been principally concerned with the metal and engineering...
The area’s rich coal seams and deposits of iron and limestone made it almost inevitable that it would become an important iron-producing centre. Small metalworking industries had begun in Birmingham as early as the 16th century, and by the 18th century the coalfield towns of Dudley, Walsall,...
The Precambrian rocks of Europe provide a rich source of economic minerals that sustain human activities, such as major deposits of iron ore at Kiruna in northern Sweden and Kryvyy Rih in Ukraine; tin deposits associated with granites in Finland; extensive copper–nickel sulfide ores across ...
Iron lies near the surface and close to the deepwater ports of the upper Great Lakes. Iron is mined both north and south of Lake Superior, but best known are the colossal deposits of Minnesota’s Mesabi Range, for more than a century one of the world’s richest and a vital element ...
