50, Albion Street

50 Albion Street is a two-storey manufactory built around 1870, with some minor alterations made in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring blue brick and moulded brick detailing, along with painted dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof with a gable stack at the west end.

The structure has a linear street frontage and a narrow rear passage, with workshops located on the upper floor and offices and entrances below. The exterior consists of a four-bay range that rises from a shallow blue brick plinth. The entrance is positioned to the left, set within a tall Gothic arched outer opening. The doorway itself is within a segmental arch-headed opening, featuring double four-panel doors and an overlight with plain wooden tracery.

There are window openings, one to the left and two to the right, which have segmental outer arches and shouldered heads, linked by a stepped blue brick band. The windows have glazing bar sash frames, with six-pane upper sashes and horizontally-subdivided two-pane lower sashes. Below the upper floor, there is a wide painted storey band, and above it are seven closely spaced upper floor windows with multi-pane metal frames, along with one replacement casement. The segmental arched heads of these windows have painted springers and impost mouldings, topped with an elaborate cut and moulded brick cornice. The rear elevation features seven upper floor workshop windows with multi-pane frames.

This building is part of a group with No. 49 Albion Street and No. 51 Albion Street. It is a well-preserved example of a small metal-working manufactory from around 1870, contributing to a prominent street frontage of industrial buildings. Its careful external detailing showcases the distinctive features typical of purpose-built manufactories in a specialist manufacturing district of Birmingham, which is now recognized for its international significance.
