Boulton & Watt's Soho Foundry originally had two rows of cottages for senior staff and Avery, the site's owner since 1895, has retained one row. The nearest cottage is believed to have been used by the gas pioneer William Murdock. This site remains one of the cradles of steam engine building as well as being at the cutting edge of modern weighing technology.
