SPORTING TROPHIES

A number of business in the Jewellery Quarter, past and present, have made trophies for sports events. Silversmith Andrew Macgowan made trophies for football, horse racing and tennis events and Martin Chaplain’s company repaired the famous Ryder Cup golf trophy. You can see Martin and Pauline Chaplain with the cup in this photo above. Listen to Andrew and Martin talk about their work at:
