The industrial centres of Great Britain are Birmingham, Sheffield, Cardiff and Wolverhampton. All these centres are close together. The «second city» of Great Britain is Birmingham. It is called «the city of 1500 trades».
The great disadvantage of Great Britain is that it possesses very few of the raw materials necessary for industry. Most of them must be imported. Britain also has to import a variety of foodstuffs. Great Britain does not produce enough food for its people; much is imported from other countries. The most developed branches of British agriculture are sheep farming and chicken farms. Vegetables are grown in all the countries of the British Isles.
The main agricultural products of Great Britain are wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, white (sugar) beet, milk, beef, mutton and lamb.
Great Britain imported such goods as wheat, furs, iron goods from Russia and exported to Russia textiles, machinery, leather goods, etc.
There is a hundred universities in Great Britain. Besides the famous universities of Oxford and Cambridge there are well-known universities in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol, Belfast.
