Discover the Jewellery Quarter, the legendary metalworking workshop that fueled the Industrial Revolution. Canals, factories and Georgian elegance in the historic heart of Birmingham.
Travel back in time to the Jewellery Quarter, the heart of the British Industrial Revolution and the world's most important metalworking workshop for more than two centuries. Today, this historic district still produces 40% of the UK's jewelry - it's not a museum, it's living history!
We'll explore the "City of a Thousand Trades," where everything from jewelry and watches to coffin fittings and Wimbledon trophies were made.
Tour highlights:
- Canal engineering: discover the Farmers Bridge Locks, the spectacular "Thirteen Old Men's Staircase," a symbol of Birmingham's industrial might.
- Georgian architecture: stroll through St Paul's Square, the only surviving Georgian square, surrounded by former factories.
- Living heritage: see Chamberlain's Clock and Warstone Lane Cemetery, with its catacombs and graves of inventors and master craftsmen.
Join this tour and experience the fusion of history, architecture and craftsmanship that makes the Jewellery Quarter unique.
