Image: © Chris Allen Taken: Unknown
Dated 1876 cast on beam above entrance. Described as a functional building with little display. Grid reference is from Fred Brook's book on the Industrial Archaeology of the West Midlands (1977). I haven't been back to this location since I took the photograph. Closed and demolished in the 1990s - shame!
