The grand heritage building of The Silversmiths dates back to 1865, during the reign of Queen Victoria. Today, the developer, who specialise in bringing new life to buildings with a great story, have delicately restored it to its former glory in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter. Originally constructed as a toolmaker works for Henry Jenkins and Sons, the Grade II Listed building was extended in 1898 seeing silverware makers occupy the premises. By 1914 with the rise of World War 1, the building was adapted into an arsenal, producing over 1 million rifles to aid the British troops during the war years. Throughout its lifetime of manufacturing, the building has seen six monarchs and the start and end of the industrial revolution which made Birmingham a global powerhouse in the industry. By 1992, the Jenkins family ended their long tenure at Vittoria & Unity Works, allowing for the opportunity to let its rich history speak character into new residential loft-style homes. The iconic industrial framework coupled with open-plan interiors creates the epitome of stylish urban living.
