No.42 Vyse Street forms part of a street frontage made up almost entirely of manufactories, all small-scale and detailed in domestic style, reflecting the earlier C19 pattern of converting and extending houses to form workspaces and offices. These buildings, however are consciously-designed and planned purpose-built industrial buildings. Together with the parallel range of buildings to the south-east side of Hylton Street, they form a block of back- to- back manufactories all with workshop ranges to the rear of frontage buildings. Eccentric plot shapes were fully utilised in this area, now the densest such survival in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter , recognised as a manufacturing district of international significance.
