J. W. Evans Silver Factory
Recommended by
Overview
Established in 1881, J. W. Evans is one of the most complete surviving historic factories in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. English Heritage stepped in to rescue it in 2008, and opened it to the public in summer 2011. The factory represents a lost industrial world; behind the frontage of four terraced houses, the workshops retain their original drop stamps and fly presses, and are packed with thousands of dies for the manufacture of silverware, as well as the whole of the working equipment, stock and records of the business. Entry is by pre-booked tour only.
