Description
33 Vittoria Street is a mid to late 19th-century manufactory located in Birmingham. The building has been altered in 2001 and is constructed of red brick with painted stone dressings, featuring a single brick chimney at the north end and a slate roof.
The building has an elongated L-plan, with a narrow street frontage and a long workshop range that extends the full length of the plot on the north side of a narrow yard. The exterior showcases a symmetrical three-bay elevation that rises three storeys from a deep stone plinth. The central doorway is framed by a cut brick surround and features a six-panel door topped by a six-pane overlight. To the right of the doorway is a six-over-six pane sash window set on a painted cill band, which has a shallow-arched brick head and a serpentine continuous hood mould. To the left of the doorway, there is a shallow arch-headed vehicle opening that was inserted in 2001. The first-floor windows are positioned between shallow pilasters with Corinthian capitals and are set within cut brick reveals. The upper floor windows are shallower six-over-six pane sashes beneath rubbed brick heads with arched soffits. The building has corbelled and bull-nosed brick eaves, and a storeyed range of workshops extends eastwards from the rear elevation.
Historically, the building originally extended further to the right and is believed to have been part of a pair of manufactories. It is listed for its group value with No. 35 Vittoria Street. This manufactory is notably elaborate for its small scale and is part of an important group of purpose-built and evolved industrial buildings in a specialist manufacturing district of Birmingham, which is now recognized as being of international significance.
