CHAMBERLAIN SQUARE

Chamberlain Square is named after the great Joseph Chamberlain and is centred around his beautiful monument. It is also home to the Museum and Art Gallery and several civic sculptures. This summer it was ablaze with colour from beautiful floral displays and the coloured columns on the museum entrance. The surrounding area is due to be redeveloped after the building of the new Library of Birmingham in Centenary Square.

DID YOU KNOW...
The name 'Birmingham' comes from Anglo-Saxon roots. The original settlement was made up from mainly the familly 'Berm'. 'Inga' is the Saxon name for 'familly', and 'Ham' means 'home'. 'Berm-ing-ham' meant 'the Berm familly home'. The name has morphed to 'Birm' now but retains its linguistic roots.

Other names used for the city are Brummagem, Bromichan, Bremicham among many others that mean,  "Bromwich-ham".
