Between 1839 and 1840, one of the Jewellery Quarte

Between 1839 and 1840, one of the Jewellery Quarter’s largest purpose-built manufactories was constructed: Joseph Gillott’s Victoria Works on Graham Street. The Jewellery Quarter was booming and the factory took advantage of recent innovations in processes. Gillott invented a method of mass-producing steel pen nibs through a combination of steam and hand-powered machinery. The factory was one of the largest of its kind with more than 600 workers. This combination of technology and workforce allowed the Victoria Works to achieve huge outputs.

By the 1850s, Birmingham had become the world centre for steel pen and nib manufacture and Joseph Gillott was just one of the Birmingham players in this international trade.

At its peak, 75% of the world’s pens were manufactured in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

Gillott’s continued to produce pen nibs on the site until 1956, when they moved to Dudley. #birmingham #birminghamhistory #jewelleryquarter #pennib #brum #heritage
