Abstract: |
Building recording was undertaken on behalf of Owens Property Solutions at Prospect Works, Redditch, Worcestershire (NGR ref SP 0395 6800; SMR ref WSM 10256). The Prospect Works was originally built as a needle and fishhook maker. The original building on the site probably consisted only of a scouring mill. Scouring was the process of polishing the needles. The needles were made in the people's cottages and taken to a scouring mill to be polished. The expansion of the industry under one master saw other buildings being added for each process of the needle industry. In the early 20th century the Works was converted for use as a spring manufactory. |
