:''For the other place near Birmingham, see Hockley Heath.'' Hockley is a central inner-city district in the city of Birmingham, England. It lies about one mile north-west of the city centre, and is served by the Jewellery Quarter station. Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter continues to thrive in Hockley, and much of the original architecture and small artisan workshops have survived intact. Kathleen Dayus born 1903 in Hockley wrote about the area between 1982 and 2000 in a series of books now brought together under the title 'The Girl from Hockley'. Hockley is location of the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter and Birmingham Mint. Vittoria Street in Hockley is home to Birmingham Institute of Art and Design's Jewellery School, and The Big Peg arts & crafts workshop cluster is nearby. Housing in the area is generally characterised by well-built Victorian villas and terraces. The "Hockley flyover" road interchange is an example of brutalist late-modernist concrete architecture. It features a decorative cast concrete climbing wall by the artist William Mitchell.
