Newman Brothers Coffin Fitting Works, 13-15 Fleet Street, Birmingham B3 1JP

Purpose-built factory for the manufacture of fittings (handles, ornaments etc.) and funerary shrouds and coffin linings. The factory was built in 1894 and closed in 1999, when it was left with all its contents intact as if at the end of an ordinary working day. Costumed guides tell the story of the manufacturing process and of the people who worked there.
