Description (What the record is about)
-
The project was started by The Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) in November 1998 and continued by English Heritage. The survey was part funded by Birmingham City Council and Advantage West Midlands, resulting in a substantial internal report that formed the basis for the English Heritage publication 'The Birmingham Jewellery Quarter: An Architectural Survey of the Manufactories', published 2002.
The project sought to illuminate the development of the urban workshop economy in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the concurrent expansion of the factory system, as applied to the jewellery and metal trades.
The Jewellery Quarter remains largely intact, both as a highly specialised and distinctive working entity and as an historic area of considerable importance.
