Museum of the Jewellery Quarter
When the proprietors of the Smith & Pepper jewellery
manufacturing firm decided to retire in 1981 they ceased trading
and locked the door, unaware they would be leaving a time capsule
for future generations. Tools were left strewn on benches; grubby
overalls were hung on the coat hooks; and dirty teacups were
abandoned alongside jars of marmite and jam on the shelf.
In the eighty years before its closure little changed with the
working practices or equipment used within the family-owned
business. Even the décor had more in common with early 20th century
trends than a thriving business in the early 1980s. Today the
factory is a remarkable museum, which tells the story of the
Jewellery Quarter and Birmingham's renowned jewellery and
metalworking heritage.

occasion.
