An iron plaque in polished stone surround between bays 4 and 5
was erected in 1929 and records the achievements of Matthew
Murray at the Round Foundry, Foundry Street (qv).
INTERIOR: not inspected.
When Murray's business closed in 1843 the works were taken
over and expanded by Smith, Beacock and Tannett, Machine Tool
Manufacturers, and renamed the Victoria Foundry. This building
is similar in character to the earlier Murray foundry at
No.103 Water Lane, (qv) and was built on the site of the
entrance gate on Camp Fields; it was originally entered from
the greensand foundry, No.99 Water Lane (qv). The building
continued in use as a foundry until 1895.
