Review & FAQ:

Visitors to Birmingham, England, will have the opportunity to step back through time at The Coffin Works museum. The factory is listed as grade II and is located in the city’s Jewellery Quarter. The museum’s contents help tell the story of the factory workers that once roamed its floors. Newman Brothers was Birmingham’s last factory that was devoted to coffin furniture, and in 1998, after more than 100 years of operation, the workers vacated the factory for the last time, leaving behind personal items, equipment, everything. Today this unique time capsule can be explored via guided tours, where visitors can behold one of Birmingham’s finest industrial legacies.
