EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the bustling industrial heart of Harborne, Birmingham during the 1910s. The image showcases the impressive Letterhead Brick Works Limited, located at California, Quinton, Harborne, Birmingham 32, in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom. The red brick buildings, a hallmark of the region's industrial heritage, dominate the scene, with their tall, imposing chimneys reaching for the sky. At the center of the complex stands the Registered Office, where the company's directors, chairman, manager, secretary, and other key personnel would have conducted business. The telephone, a symbol of modern communication, sits prominently on a desk inside, hinting at the company's forward-thinking approach. The quarry, located nearby, is where the raw materials for the bricks were extracted. The tunnel, visible in the background, likely served as a means of transporting the clay and other materials to the factory. The intricate design on the letterhead of Smarts Brick Works Limited, with its elegant script and stylized image of a brick, adds a touch of sophistication to the business dealings of this industrial powerhouse. The company, which was likely a significant player in the region's commerce and industry, produced high-quality bricks that were used in the construction of numerous buildings throughout the city and beyond. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of industry and commerce in the growth and development of Birmingham during the 1910s.
