Chubb Locks building

This structure is a converted factory in the English town of Wolverhampton, now housing commercial units. Exposed wooden beams, arched ceilings, and red brick walls surround an inner courtyard topped by a glass roof.

The factory appeared in the early nineteenth century when two brothers opened a workshop in Wolverhampton to produce security devices. Their detector lock caught the attention of the British royal household and brought the workshop international recognition.

The complex carries the name of a firm once known for making security devices used across the world. Visitors today can walk through workspaces where craftsmen once assembled metal parts, a reminder of how industrial towns in central England thrived during the nineteenth century.

The complex sits near Wolverhampton railway station and remains accessible throughout the day. A caretaker is present during standard office hours to answer questions or assist with directions.

The workshops were once laid out in triangular sections so daylight from large windows reached every workbench. This arrangement helped craftsmen carry out fine metalwork under natural light.
