#Person1#: Is your city a historical place? 
#Person2#: Not rally. 200 years ago, it was just a small insignificant village. 
#Person1#: How did it grow into such a large place? 
#Person2#: Large deposits of coal were found nearly and so many industries located themselves here. The village quickly grew into a key industrial centre. 
#Person1#: As the city grew, it must have absorbed many village nearby. 
#Person2#: Yes, it did. The names of those village survive as the names of parts of the city. 
#Person1#: I see. Are there any building more than 200 years old in your city? 
#Person2#: Oh, yes. Several of the buildings from the villages still survive. Many of them were inns for travelers and today survive as pubs. There was a castle near one village, so our city has a castle too. 
#Person1#: Really? So your city does have some old history after all.
