Closest is the cream frontage of Peterson Spring. This is a US-based company established in 1914 and this is the UK manufacturing plant. Not surprisingly, springs feature heavily in the company's portfolio. The brick works beyond is A Poole & Son Ltd, another spring manufacturer. Redditch specialised in the manufacture of needles initially with hooks and springs developing later. There is still quite a lot to see around and about.
