Reliance Works, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham

Read Case Study

DESCRIPTION

Reliance Works was built c1825, taking architectural inspiration from the grand Georgian houses in St Paul’s Square – the spiritual home of the Jewellery Quarter. Originally, Reliance Works comprised two townhouses – 41 and 42 Caroline Street – each serving as both a home and place of work for small family jewellers known as ‘garret masters’.

Former residents include two of Birmingham’s most respected silversmiths: George Unite and Nathaniel Mills. The two houses were eventually acquired by Pickering and Mayall and converted into one single address – No 42 Caroline Street. By 1916, the building had been transformed into a flagship manufactory for jewellery cases.

Now, following a prestigious redevelopment, it has been transformed once more – this time, into a mix of nine one and two-bedroom duplexes and apartments around an attractive ground floor courtyard. Retaining its classic Georgian styling and character – including timber beams, wooden bay windows and original signage – with exquisitely designed interiors it represents a rare example of the Jewellery Quarter’s industrial heritage.

It has been one of the area’s most distinctive landmarks for almost 200 years. With personality and a lovingly restored heritage, Reliance Works captures the true character of its community and offers soulful and stylish living within one of Birmingham’s most sought-after locations.
