My grandfather’s family created fine jewellery there, in that building in Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter, for many centuries. We visited there in 2018. The owners couldn’t believe the history I revealed, but of course, I just needed to buy a little memento, lol. Your turn💛 No not fair, I cheated by looking it up on google.😆 Great story for you as well, to catch up with a piece of family history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly, I am at fault here, because all I was thinking about was fellow posters identifying Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter, without realising the name of the jewellery store was in full, obvious, revealing view. Full marks for using your initiative and googling. I think we all agreed some time back that it was acceptable to do that. Now, John and Hilary: definitely your turn, or we’ll be debating all day😂 Edited August 15 by Mareblu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
