5, Warstone Parade East

5 Warstone Parade East is a small manufactory built in the late 19th century, with some alterations from the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of red brick with blue brick detailing and features a single wide gable chimney topped with a slate roof. The layout consists of a narrow frontage range with a rear workshop range located to the south side of an enclosed yard.

The exterior is three stories high and has a three-bay front that rises from a low blue brick plinth. There are two doorways: the left one has an infilled semi-circular arched head leading to a passage entry for access to the rear yard, while the right doorway serves as the main entrance, featuring a shallow segmental arch and a flush panelled door. To the right of the entrance, there is a single three-light transomed window beneath a shallow-arched head. The first and second floors have matching windows in the center and right-hand bays, with the former featuring 20th-century frames and the upper floor openings fitted with multi-pane cast-iron window frames. The left-hand bay contains narrow, semi-circular headed openings with metal frames, likely providing light to the stairwell above the passage.

At the rear, there is a storeyed workshop range with a monopitch roof. This building is part of a fully-developed industrial street front that includes works premises and forms a group with Nos. 3 and 4 Warstone Parade East. It is a small late 19th-century manufactory that showcases architectural detailing typical of industrial buildings in Birmingham's specialist industrial quarter, which is now recognized as being of international significance.
