Abstract
Abstract It is a commonplace of 19th-century urban history that from 1832 until the heyday of the National Liberal Federation in the 1870s Birmingham was a stronghold of parliamentary Liberalism. Equally from 1900 until 1945 it was a stronghold of parliamentary Conservatism. Yet a number of local pecularities have made it difficult for historians to come to grips with this transformation. This article examines municipal politics in Birmingham in the period 1873–c. 1890 and attempts to answer some of the questions raised.
