One of the city's most - perhaps the most - impressive industrial buildings. On a prodigious scale and with a degree of architectural ambition, particularly the former workshops seen here, whose elevation is not unlike that of a wealthy Georgian town house. Built for James Dixon & Sons, manufacturers of Britannia metal, silver plate and cutlery, in various phases from 1822. This block dates from the 1850s. Grade II* listed.
