Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, England United Kingdom

The Jewellery Quarter is an area of Birmingham City Centre, situated in the south of the Hockley area of Birmingham, England. It is covered by the Ladywood district. There is a population of around 3,000 people in a 1.07-square-kilometre (264-acre) area. It is synonymous with the manufacture of jewellery and coins in Birmingham and has been the birthplace of many pioneering advancements in industrial technology. The Jewellery Quarter's importance in the international jewellery industry has declined much throughout the 20th century and is now being transformed into an urban village and hub for creative businesses, whilst trying to maintain its urban fabric. Its historical importance has led to numerous conservation schemes and it is an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
