Then you’ll get the chance to explore the last 100 years of working class, industrial history with a guided tour of the Coffin Works. With some of the Victorian machinery in action again, you’ll learn how the highest quality handles, fixtures and fittings for coffins were made in this truly unique time capsule of a Jewellery Quarter manufactory.This package tour includes:
