The Standard Works, Birmingham, West Midlands

The Standard Works was built in 1879-80 bythe architect Thomas F Williams. Although it looks like a large factory on a corner site, it is in fact built as 15 separate industrial units and one of the best examples in the area. Structurally it is also an early instance of metal construction in the jewellery quarter.
