Abstract:		 As part of proposals to redevelop Lyng Industrial Estate in West Bromwich two buildings were identified for historical and architectural assessment and recording. These were 15 Bell Street, which at first appearance looks like a single end terraced house, and 6 Bell Street, a light industrial building. Both structures are of late Victorian date and constructed from brick and slate. It proved difficult to tie either building to a particular company although on balance it seems likely that both were owned by Gibsons Manufacturing, a railway coach axle manufacturer. At the beginning of the 20th century it is known that number 15 was occupied by a coach axle finisher and his family. However, the building is incongruous in this sub-industrial streetscape and one possibility is that the lower floor or floors served as office with the upper floors being let out to the company's workers. The house is linked to Gibsons by the remnants of a sign painted on its gable. Number 15 once formed a large workshop that has changed little over the last 100 years. Its architecture is reminiscent of that seen in railway goods sheds and on this basis could also be linked with an industry servicing the railways.
