Old W & T Avery offices, Foundry Lane, Soho, Smethwick
Avery's built this new office block around 1897 after taking over the Soho Foundry from the ailing James Watt & Co. A fine example of brick and terracotta work of the period, although now unoccupied and in deteriorating condition. See Link for a close view of the pediment.
