The Gun Quarter has a rich industrial heritage of ammunitions, motor bikes and more. It really is the up-and-coming sibling of the city. You could describe it as a little rough around the edges and it’s home to a hefty student population. But, as is the case with almost everywhere in the centre, things are slowly starting to change – investment is being made.
It also has the Jewellery Quarter on its doorstep and, in 2026, it won’t be that far at all from the HS2 Terminal.
