The city of Lichfield is located in Straffordshire.
It originally began to be a popular town and expand when coaches travelling between London and Chester stayed the night.
This was in the middle of the 1600s.
Lichfield was a popular stopping point because it was on the main route to Ireland and the northwest of England.
Though the industrial revolution dramatically changed much of the neighbouring towns in Strattfordshire, such as Birmingham, it did not greatly affect Lichfield.
With the popularity of the new railways Lichfield quickly lost its importance as a popular stopping point for coaches and other travellers.
There are many exciting spots and places to visit in Lichfield.
The Lichfield Cathedral is a medieval cathedral that has three spires.
This is the onlyon e of its kind in England.
It has been replaced and rebuilt several times due to battles but the present cathedral was constructed in 1195.
The father of Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin resides in Lichfield.
In his own right Erasmus was a famous scientist, philosopher and inventor.
Along with his friends he founded the Lunar Society.
His home is currently a museum that opened its doors in 1999.
If you are looking for some local history then the Lichfield Heritage center has exhibitions that go back 2, 000 years.
St.
John's without the Bars is a stricken Tudor building.
On the top of the building has seven tall brick chimneys all in a row and is found just beyond the city wall as a place for travellers to stay if they arrived after the gate had been shut.
Much of Lichfield's economy is currently due to two main manufacturers Armitage Shanks and Arthur Price of England.
Armitage Shanks makes showers, baths and bidets and Arthur Price of England are silversmiths and master cutlers.
There are several other light industries in the city.
Brewing and market gardens were also very prominent positions as they supplied the neighbouring, larger cities.
