To the attention of the english people meant unleashing a vicious wave of attacks in the West Midlands in the early 70s. In a sustained campaign over 18 months, 50 bombs and incendiary devices exploded. On the 21st of november, as thousands of people were enjoying a night out in birmingham, the ira attacked the city centre. A bomb exploded in the Mulberry Bush bar at about 8 15. Ten people were killed. Archive the force of one of the explosions was so great it badly damaged a bus passing the street. Minutes later, a second bomb exploded this time at the tavern in the town. 11 people died in the blast. Altogether, around 200 people were injured. Warnings were given, but they were too vague and too late. It wasnt until next morning, with more than 50 dying and mutilated victims still in birminghams hospitals, that people realised the full scale of the disaster. Although its more than a0 years since the bombs exploded, the people of birmingham have never forgotten what happens. The origin
