Factory buildings, Pritchett Street, Birmingham
The further building was constructed, probably in the 1880s, for Arthur Bellamy & Co, who made lamp-burners there until 1950. The nearer building was erected in 1906 for John Chatterley & Sons Ltd, silversmiths and electro-plate manufacturers, who remained there until 1935, to be succeeded by a pram maker, Lloyd James & Co, until 1949.
Since 2008 the buildings have been home to Westley Richards, a firm of gunsmiths founded in Birmingham in 1812, who make sporting guns. They restored the buildings facing the street, demolished the courtyards behind them, and constructed other facilities in their place, including an underground rifle range. For more information, see their site here https://www.westleyrichards.com/theexplora/pritchett-street-home-of-westley-richards/ .

New Town Row, looking towards Aston
New Town Row is the name of this stretch of the A34 running from Birmingham city centre to Aston. The area was redeveloped as Newtown in the late 1960s, with industrial units and high rise housing constructed further out, beyond the (middle) ring road. For more on Newtown see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtown,_Birmingham ; the first three housing blocks visible here are described on the University of Edinburgh Tower Block site here https://www.towerblock.eca.ed.ac.uk/development/newtown-redevelopment-area-u134 .
