The Birmingham Jewellery Quarter Museum is a perfectly preserved time capsule where you can discover the skill of the jeweller’s craft and tour the nineteenth century back-to-back houses. Our trip through the ages continues with a visit to an authentic Tudor townhouse affording opportunity to view a striking eighteenth century garden. |
