Vernier Springs & Pressings, Vernier Works, Redditch
On Edward Street. One of Redditch's traditional metal working industries. Redditch initially became a centre for needle manufacture with hooks and springs following later. It was getting dusky and I think my Canon pushed to 1600 ISO would have done better than my Lumix.

Industrial dereliction - Redditch
I believe the works were Clive works and initially owned by Abel Morrall Ltd, needle manufacturers - one of Redditch's traditional industries.

Industry on Hewell Road, Redditch
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.
