Historic England’s FAVOURITE Angel Award; help us bring it back for Brum!
Birmingham Conservation Trust have been invited to London on the 7th September to Historic England’s Angel Awards. We are hoping to bring back to Birmingham the national prize for the Best Rescue of an Industrial Building Award for 2015 for Newman Brothers at the Coffin Works.
15 years of hard work, fundraising and a £2m refurbishment paid off when we re-opened the factory in October 2014. The semi-derelict grade II* listed industrial building now has a very bright and sustainable future as both a highly-rated ‘time-capsule’ museum, an events venue, and eight commercial units, which are all fully let!
From this…

From this… to this!
BCT, along with our wonderful team of volunteers, have given the factory a new lease of life and preserved a unique and special slice of Birmingham’s history for the city. Just check out our TripAdvisor Reviews to see how special the museum is!
Please show your support and help us bring back the public’s Favourite Award for Brum!
