The Lost Photographic Industry of the Jewellery Quarter

Join James Leighton on a walking tour around the Jewellery Quarter talking about the photographic companies that once made it their home. Today most people would not realise that Birmingham was a thriving area making cameras and photographic equipment for over 100 years, and the Jewellery Quarter was an important area within this. This walking tour will show you where these companies were and what they made.

This walk starts outside the RBSA Gallery in St Pauls Square and ends at The Jewellery Business Centre on Spencer Street
This is a popular free tour for a small number of people. To avoid disappointment for the organiser & guide and those on the waiting list, please cancel your ticket on Eventbrite if you have booked but find you can no longer attend. Your place will then be offered to someone else.
