Report - William Griffith & Sons Jewellers, Birmingham - August 2017

The Explore
I had heard about this place a few times and had a look at it once or twice and was baffled as to how the hell anyone got in here.. The building is surrounded on all sides by offices that seem to have a view of every bit of the building.. We returned a few months later with a plan and amazingly it worked and we were inside. Have to say I was on edge the whole time in here, I could hear phones ringing next door, people whistling right outside having a smoke and had a feeling someone would walk in at anytime

Nobody did and we were in and out completely undetected and happy that we tried again because this place was impressive!

The History
Full history I'm struggling to find much of online, seems the company was founding in the mid 1800s but at a different location I think. From what I can gather this place seems to have been closed for quite some time but so much is left inside!

I went past the other day and asbestos blokes were in there. Not sure if that means its sold and changes are afoot. Will keep an eye on it.
