Chamberlain Clock

Jewellery manufacturers have operated in this district for over 200 years and continue to do so today despite rising property values and new development. Jewellery is produced here for the general public and also for the wholesale and retail trade. The area is said to contain the highest concentration of dedicated jewellers in Europe with about one third of the jewellery manufactured in the UK being made within one mile of Birmingham city centre. There is also The Big Peg, a renovated 1960s tower block which is now studios for several hundred small arts & jewellery businesses. Many of the workshops retain their nineteenth-century appearance, and the Jewellery Quarter is promoted as a tourist attraction by Birmingham, with its own Museum of the Jewellery Quarter. Vittoria Street hosts the Jewellery teaching centre for the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design.

The Jewellery Quarter also hosts a variety of art galleries including the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, St. Paul's Gallery and Colony.

The Jewellery Quarter is served by Jewellery Quarter station a co-joined stop on both the Midland Metro and the main rail line into Birmingham Snow Hill station.

The Chamberlain Building is to receive a major facelift as three companies are to move into the ground floor space. Tesco, William Hill and Subway all have signed up for the ground floor which is to be redeveloped by MCD.
