Showell’s Dictionary of Birmingham by Thomas T. Harman is an alphabetically arranged history and guide to the English city of Birmingham. It gathers entries on the city’s streets, buildings, institutions, industries, and notable events, serving as both reference and chronicle.
Please note that this is principally a nineteenth-century local history rather than an early modern text; it is included within the broader history shelf. The dictionary preserves a wealth of detail about Birmingham’s past. This free EPUB edition presents the complete text for readers interested in English urban and local history.
