41, Hylton Street

41 Hylton Street is a late 19th-century manufactory with minor 20th-century alterations, located in Birmingham. The building is constructed of red brick with painted ashlar dressings, featuring end stacks and a slate roof. It has an L-plan layout, occupying a corner plot with a workshop range that fronts the northeast side of Hylton Street.

The northwest street frontage consists of two bays rising from a shallow blue brick plinth. To the right is a semi-circular arch-headed doorway, with a two-panel door and overlight that is partially obscured by a 20th-century roller shutter. To the left, there is a tall two-over-two pane sash window with a shallow hood supported by decorative brackets. The first floor has two windows with two-over-two pane sashes and plain lintels, situated below a dentilled brick eaves band. The side elevation features three workshop windows on the ground floor, which have multi-pane metal frames and shallow segmental-arched heads with blue brick margins. There is a single off-centre window on the first floor. Further to the left, there is a three-bay workshop range with an inserted vehicle entrance at the left end and three upper floor workshop windows.

This building forms a group with Nos. 37-39 Hylton Street and No. 49 Vyse Street. It is part of a continuous street frontage made up entirely of manufactories, all small-scale and detailed in a domestic style, reflecting the earlier 19th-century trend of converting and extending houses into workspaces and offices. However, these are purpose-built industrial premises. Along with the parallel range of buildings on the west side of Vyse Street, they create a solid block of back-to-back manufactories, all with workshop ranges behind the frontage buildings. The area has a history of utilizing eccentric plot shapes and is now recognized as the densest survival of such buildings in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, a district of international significance for manufacturing.
