The Origin of Heixiang Life House
"
Located in the west of Birmingham, the second largest city in Britain, Black Country consists of Dudley, Wolfhampton, Sandville and Wilshire, and is rich in coal, iron ore and limestone resources.
/kloc-in the 0/7th century, Dudley, the "steel master", used coke instead of wood to melt and cast steel for the first time in Heixiang, so he was named as the birthplace of the industrial revolution.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the industrial products in Heixiang area were exported overseas. The world's first steam engine, the first steam train operated by the United States, and the anchorage of the Titanic all made Heixiang famous all over the world.
However, under the highly developed industry, it is the "ugliest place" in people's eyes. The roaring operation of mines, iron foundry, glass factory and brick factory resounded through the town, and black smoke billowed over the town during the day; The red flame burns all night, as if it were daytime; The natural landscape in this area has been seriously damaged and lacks vitality.
In 1960s, the last coal mine in Heixiang was closed, and the reconstruction and redevelopment of Heixiang ushered in a turning point with the wave of non-industrial transformation in Birmingham.
1967, after an exhibition was held in Dudley, the development of this area became the focus, the Black Country Society was established, and the idea of building the Black Country Life Museum began.
1978, Heixiang Life Museum was officially opened to the public. Industrial heritages, such as two mines, a lime kiln, a branch canal, Victorian architectural heritage, station wagon horses, Victorian costumes and real country life, reproduce the historical features of towns in 1890- 1935 during the British industrial revolution. ..

The Museum of Black Country Life is dominated by Victorian architecture, and the streets are restored with red brick buildings to create a typical Victorian street life.
The high street built on 20 10 reproduces the street life in the 19 era. The town to be built in 2023 will continue to tell the life and work of industrial towns in the 1940s and 1960s with 19.
The preserved space for reproduction and labor of buildings such as factories, and the extensive collection of19th century industrial old things, mechanical parts and other elements are organically combined with factories, showing the heyday of industrial development.
The cable car, which is still in operation, sends tourists along the canal to see the busy scene of goods passing through the canal during the industrial period.
Implant the content of "understanding food, clothing, housing, entertainment", fill the scene structure, and shape a more three-dimensional industrial town.
Actors dressed in19th century costumes stopped to chat in twos and threes, or were busy in shops, or appeared in the streets in old cars and old horses, as if they were still living in the Victorian era.
Have a cup of English afternoon tea in the shops in the town, or live in an English homestay to experience the life in the town, travel around the town by tram, join the crowd in the town's rolling hoop game, buy traditional souvenirs and cards in Victorian shops, or go into the mine to experience the work of miners, listen to the "townspeople" in the town to tell the history of the town and return to Victorian life.

In addition to these public-oriented activities, the biggest attraction of the Black Elephant Life Museum is the design of educational products. A variety of study tour products are aimed at students of all ages, covering history, art, science, technology, geography, literature, mathematics and other disciplines. They can not only carry out field research activities, but also use museum teaching courseware to carry out off-site teaching activities in school classrooms.
For example, St. James' School in the Black Country Life Museum now has courses in reading, writing and arithmetic, and visitors can have a Victorian class, which is different from the current class.
Postgraduates can also participate in the research on the development of canal transportation system in Britain, visit examples of canal art in canal art workshops, and learn to use mixed materials to make canal-style tiles.
Today's Black Country has long been a popular tourist destination, a city card of Birmingham and an important location for BBC historical dramas. New media platforms, such as Tiktok, have also become the propaganda platform of the Black Country Life Museum in the new era, which has narrowed the distance with the public.
