A small late C19 manufactory with surviving integral workshop range to rear, and forming part of a significant street frontage grouping of similar buildings at the heart of a manufacturing district of Birmingham now considered to be of international significance. The eccentric shape of the rear workshop ranges illustrates the pressure of development in the Quarter in the late C19 when even the most marginal plots could provide workshop space.
