Featured project

The Coffin Works

The Trust’s major project over the last decade has been to create a sustainable ‘rescue’ package for the Newman Brothers coffin fittings factory in Fleet Street, in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter.
In 2014 the grade II* listed building, built in 1894, was taken off Historic England’s (was English Heritage) ‘Buildings at Risk Register’ after a 15 year campaign to save this remarkable building and its contents.
