Built in 1872, Great Hampton Street Works is a landmark of Birmingham’s industrial era. Once home to button and smallware makers that helped define the Jewellery Quarter’s global craftsmanship, its striking Neo-Gothic façade remains a proud symbol of the city’s heritage.
Great Hampton Street Works is a building of noticeable historical significance constructed in 1872 during Birmingham's manufacturing heyday. Originally home to button and smallware manufacturers, it contributed to the Jewellery Quarter's international reputation for craftmanship and design. Its distinctive Neo-Gothic façade reflects the ambition and pride of the city's industrial past. Today, it stands as a striking landmark in Birmingham's rich architectural and cultural heritage.
Beautifully restored and thoughtfully converted, the development now combines the charm of its period architecture with the comfort and practicality of modern living. Most recently, Great Hampton Street Works was formally recognised for its transformation, winning Refurbishment Project of the Year 2025, highlighting the exceptional quality of its redevelopment. Inside, residents enjoy contemporary open-plan spaces finished to an exceptionally high standard, complemented by modern fitted kitchens with integrated appliances. The bedrooms are bright and generously sized, offering premium flooring and excellent storage, while the stylish shower rooms feature high-quality fixtures, designer tiling, and the added luxury of underfloor heating.
At the heart of the development sits a unique communal courtyard, designed to celebrate the building's industrial heritage. Original machinery and architectural features have been retained, giving the space an authentic connection to its manufacturing past. The courtyard has been sensitively landscaped with raised planters, soft greenery, and gravel walkways, creating a calm retreat away from the street. Residents can enjoy newly installed benches for outdoor seating, along with practical additions such as secure bike storage. This unique courtyard blends history and contemporary design, offering an inviting communal space rarely found in city-centre developments.
The building benefits from a secure entry system and well-maintained communal areas throughout. Positioned directly on Great Hampton Street, the location places you moments from the Jewellery Quarter's celebrated cafés, restaurants, independent bars, and artisan retailers, while transport links – including the Jewellery Quarter tram stop and Snow Hill station – are just a short walk away.
