CAMPAIGNERS have formed a group to try and preserve Birmingham's under-threat Jewellery Quarter.
English Heritage had expressed concern over the preservation of buildings and a loss of skills in the 300-year-old district after it featured on its Conservation Areas At Risk 2011 list as being of ‘medium’ vulnerability.
Marie Haddleton has established Jewellery Quarter Heritage to work with Birmingham City Council to create ‘affordable workspace’, encourage businesses to the area and convert empty buildings back to workshops.
The 84-year-old said the quarter’s heritage is being eroded despite being a conservation area under the protection of the Jewellery Quarter Conservation and Management Plan.

Jewellery Quarter Bullion seeks finance for growth
Birmingham-based gold dealer Jewellery Quarter Bullion could be put up for sale after it announced it has appointed Grant Thornton to assist in exploring sale options beyond the UK.
The firm is behind Bullion By Post, the internet dealer of gold and silver in the UK. According to a report in The Telegraph, its founder Rob Halliday-Stein said a sale would make way for international expansion and meet the need for buying physical gold and silver bars and coins in the UK.
Jewellery Quarter Bullion purchases bullion from traditional dealers and sends it on to retail investors the next day.
In its first year Jewellery Quarter made £6 million in sales and pre-tax profits of £20,000. In the year ending April 2012 it reported sales of £55 million with a pre-tax profit of £1.5 million.
