Abstract: |
A building recording was undertaken on behalf of Steve Dodd Property Management Ltd at the Crescent Works, Mount Pleasant, Redditch, Worcestershire (SP 039 668, WSM 00034). The building recording determined that the original building known as the Walton Works was incorporated into a remodelled building around 1888, which became the Crescent Works. The original chimneystack has disappeared, but the buildings remain generally in tact and in good condition. The economic requirements of the 20th century meant that additional floorspace was added to the works and the site was taken over by the fishing tackle manufacturer, Partridge of Redditch. Fishing tackle manufacture has always run alongside the needle industry in Redditch and it is interesting to note that the Walton Works also manufactured fishing hooks from the same premises that Partridges' still made similar items around a century later. |
