Victoria Works, Grade II listed building in Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, England
The Victoria Works building features several architectural elements from the French Renaissance style, including a central arch and detailed facade ornamentation.
Built between 1839 and 1840 for Joseph Gillott, Victoria Works served as one of the first purpose-built factories producing pen nibs in Birmingham.
The building received a Grade II listing status, marking its importance in preserving Birmingham's industrial and architectural heritage for future generations.
Current tenants in Victoria Works include law firms, the Gambling Commission, and the National Lottery Commission, making it a commercial office space.
In 1874, Albert, Prince of Wales and Princess Alexandra visited Victoria Works, which at that time employed 600 workers in pen nib manufacturing.
