About

Hockley & the Jewellery Quarter form a historic industrial district in central Birmingham. The area is defined by its Georgian and Victorian architecture, with red-brick factories and workshops lining the streets. It remains a centre for jewellery manufacturing, with many trade shops and specialist craftspeople still operating behind unassuming facades.

A network of independent cafes, bars, and restaurants has grown within the converted industrial buildings. The area's working legacy is visible in the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, located within a former manufactory that stopped production as it was. Streets like Vyse Street and Warstone Lane are lined with the trade shops that supply the industry.
