Location
Located just outside Birmingham’s city centre, the Jewellery Quarter is an attractive mix of narrow streets, fine architecture and listed buildings – among them ‘The Million Pen’.
In the 18th century, the area boasted some of the city’s most sought after residential addresses. In the 19th century, it became a centre of jewellery manufacturing, producing many iconic items including the original Lonsdale belt, FA Cup and the trophy for Wimbledon Ladies Singles. Although its heyday was in the early 1900s, the Jewellery Quarter still produces 40% of the UK’s jewellery and is home to more jewellers than anywhere in Europe. A designated conservation area, it is now being reinvented as an urban village and hub for creative enterprise. Combining style, culture, commerce and residential accommodation, it’s an appealing and vibrant quarter within a major European city.
