THE BIRMINGHAM JEWELLERY QUARTER: AN ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY OF THE MANUFACTORIES

by John Cattell; Sheila Ely; Barry Jones

Published by English Heritage. 1st. 2002

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. The Birmingham Jewellery Quarter is remarkable for its dense concentration of converted houses, factories and specialist buildings: a particular combination of structures associated with jewellery and metalworking which does not seem to exist anywhere else in the world. This book describes the development of the Quarter and the various building types in contains. Large format. Blue cloth boards, gilt titles. Colour & b/w photos.

Small dint to rear spine edge of boards and dustwrapper (as if something heavy was dropped on it). Else a fine copy.
