The sights and sounds of J.W. Evans Silver Factory

Enjoy this comprehensive video about the history of J W Evans Silver Factory before you plan your visit.

J.W. Evans oral history project

In 2025, some of our Young Producers interviewed former employees of the J. W. Evans Silver Factory and members of the Jewellery Quarter to find out the history of this fascinating site. Their conversations open a window into a world of skilled craftsmanship and the day to day realities of factory life. This short film invites you to see the factory not just as a historic building, but as a place shaped by the people who worked there.
