61, Tenby Street North

61 Tenby Street North is a late 19th-century manufactory located in Birmingham, with some alterations made in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring blue brick detailing and painted stone dressings beneath a composition slate roof.

The structure has an elongated L-plan with a narrow street-facing range and an attached range of workshops that extend west to the rear of the plot. The exterior showcases a three-bay frontage that rises from a shallow blue brick plinth, with two ground floor doorways now fitted with 20th-century doors featuring diagonal boarding. The door openings have chamfered cut brick surrounds and shouldered springers leading to shallow pointed arched heads adorned with advanced faceted keystones. Below the first floor, there is a painted cill band with dog-toothed brickwork. The first floor has three shallow arch-headed window openings that contain margin-glazed sashes, and above these is a complex moulded brick eaves cornice.

At the rear, on the south side of the plot, there is a two-storey range of workshops, which includes a low monopitch single-storey lean-to that encloses a narrow yard. The right-hand doorway leads to an enclosed passage that provides access to the rear shopping area.

This small purpose-built manufactory is part of a densely populated street filled entirely with industrial premises. Its existence on such a small site, close to larger works, reflects the demand for industrial space during a period of rapid expansion in Birmingham's manufacturing quarter, which is now recognized as being of international significance. The building forms a group with Nos. 58 and 59 Tenby Street North and No. 63 Tenby Street North.
