Description
The Ringway Engineering Service Company is a building dating from around 1840 to 1850, originally a row of three houses that have been combined and extended at the rear for use as a workshop, or may have been constructed for that purpose. It is located along Fazeley Street in Deritend, backing onto a canal arm by the Warwick Bar.
The building features a two-storey facade made of engineering brick, topped with a gable end slate roof that has flat eaves and boxed bargeboards on the gable ends. The chimneys are plain and corniced. The overall elevation consists of eight bays with revealed glazing bar sash windows, which have stucco sills and consoles beneath shallow cornices with blocking courses. Two of the doorways are adorned with shaped consoles that support block pediments.
At the rear, there is a works block that rises to two and three storeys, constructed of red brick and engineering brick. This block has a double pile design with oculi and lunettes in the gable ends, which also have slate roofs. The windows are segmental arched with bull nose reveals and fixed iron frames. The property features massive yard gate posts, shared in part with the adjacent No 122, made of ashlar monoliths that are chamfered and grooved.
