The Jewellery Quarter’s Chamberlain Clock was removed for extensive repairs and restoration by Smith of Derby and returned in early 2021. The project was joint funded by our project via the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and the JQBID.
2 Visions 2 Legacies
This project investigates the history and significance of the Chamberlain Clock and the life of Joseph Chamberlain, as well as the life and legacy of Warrulan; an Aboriginal Australian who is buried in the Jewellery Quarter. We focus on telling balanced narratives and including the diverse voices of our fantastic city of Birmingham.
