Tripadvisor.com has recommended the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham as one of Europe’s top ten free attractions.
Birmingham has a long history of jewellery-making, with its jewellery quarter dating back some 200 years. It is the home of one of the British assaying offices with an anchor symbol denoting precious metals that have passed through its doors.
We’d certainly like to visit!

A silver medieval pinhead was discovered in a Somerset field in late 2006, and is now waiting to be valued by the British Museum. The pinhead would have belonged to a woman of some wealth, and interestingly no similar objects have been unearthed in recent years.
In 1997 new treasure laws were established in the UK which state that all gold and silver found over 300 years old must be declared to the authorities. Because this is the first pinhead to have been declared, it is unclear what its value will be.
