The gates to the Jewellery Ouarter Business Centre (Michael Johnson, 1991).

(95, Spencer Street.)

“This redevelopment, by the Duchy of Cornwall, is closely linked with Prince Charles. and has been a focus for HRH the Prince of Wales's ideas on the regeneration of inner city areas. The development provides modern office and industrial premises for a wide range of different businesses. The £2.5 million development…includes an unusual sculpture in the form of the entrance gates to the reception area. These are constructed from stainless steel and brass, which relate to the traditional silver and gold of the jewellery industry; cut glass 'jewels' are incorporated in the design which is meant to represent the 'tree of life’.”
