Soho Manufactory

The Soho Manufactory was an early factory, opening in Soho, Birmingham, England by Matthew Boulton in 1761.

The manufactory produced a wide range of goods from buttons, buckles and boxes to japanned ware , and later luxury products such as silverware and ormolu (a type of gilded bronze).

It was also home to the first steam-powered mint.

In the 1990s, the television archaeology programme "Time Team" excavated the site.
