Old industrial factory galvanising works building in the Deritend / Digbeth area close to the city centre on 7th August 2023 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Birmingham is still very much an industrial city both current and past, with many of these works buildings incredibly close to the city centre. Despite the ongoing Big City Plan, a large redevelopment scheme that will regenerate the old industrial buildings into apartments, retail premises, offices and arts facilities, there is still a great deal of industrial activity in the area.
