Scholars Quarter Closing in on Completion - April 2024 Update


Scholar’s Quarter in the Jewellery Quarter has seen an unloved former industrial site transformed into an intimate new residential neighbourhood.

Kings Crescent Homes have carefully developed the site (external) with six interconnected new builds, each one designed with its own character while respecting the historic nature of Legge Lane and the Jewellery Quarter Conservation Area.

The site had remained unused since it ceased industrial use in the 1970s, with only dilapidated structures remaining on site, including the 19th-century and Grade II listed Wellington Works.

Wellington Works, unfortunately, had to be demolished owing to a partial collapse leading up to construction.

However, the historic building has since been reconstructed using mostly salvaged bricks from its demolition, with the building following the same form as its original, with the building now back to sitting loud and proud facing onto Legge Lane.

Within the site, residents will benefit from five intimate courtyard gardens, with many also benefiting from balconies and private terraces.
