Description: Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) is arguably the individual with the greatest historic significance associated with Birmingham, a city internationally-renowned for nurturing innovation, aspiration and industry. This website provides an introduction to Matthew Boulton, and outlines the plans being made to celebrate him in 2009 (co-incidentally the year which also marks the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin, grandson of two of Boulton’s greatest friends, Erasmus Darwin and Josiah Wedgwood).
