We had a wonderful guided tour of the Newman Brother’s legacy from Billy. We were shown the intricacies of the Newman Company’s craftsmen and the hardship endured by workers who were paid by the piece. With the occasional pun and playful questionnaire, Billy kept the crowd entertained throughout the course of the tour. If you’re visiting Birmingham and want to experience its cultural history, this place should definitely be on your list!

What a marvellous place, which perfectly captures exactly what a museum should be - welcoming, educational, and truly engrossing. It was amazing to see the workshops and offices so beautifully preserved, like real time capsules. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and clearly take great pride in their work. Extra special thanks to Cornelius who demonstrated the drop stamp with incredible skill - I would have happily listened to him talk about the history of the workshop all day. Thank you so much for such a lovely afternoon. I am already planning my next visit!

Thanks to the Heritage week I joined a 30min tour at the Coffin Works. The staff was warm and welcoming. The tour guide took us through the history of the building and showed us machines. Great heritage of Birmingham although I am not sure I would recommend it to someone not into the topic/Birmingham history

Every single staff member/ volunteer was so animated and passionate about the museum and even the industry. It was lovely to talk to people who share similar views on death and knowledge of the industry. The building also looked so beautiful on the sunny day.
