Edgbaston Gets Framed


Frame Tec in Harborne have enhanced treasured works of art in homes across Birmingham, Britain and Europe – and it doesn’t stop at two dimensional work. You name it and they’ve framed it – from boxing gloves, to football shirts, medals, records, tickets – even a collection of corkscrews.
“There’s nothing we can’t frame – I don’t think anything has defeated us yet,” says Peter at his framing shop and art gallery in Greenfield Road, with its trademark blue striped awning.



“One of the most unusual items we were ever asked to frame was a pair of boxer Henry Cooper’s shorts after one of his famous fights with Muhammad Ali during the 1960s – it worked really well. The second half of the shop houses a small art gallery, packed with the work of local artists. Two longstanding exhibitors are water colourists Tim Nash, from Stourbridge and Lawrence Hayfield, from Halesowen, along with work from local photographers.
