 In 2000, Sir Neil Cossons announced that the Newman Brothers Coffin Furniture Factory would be given Grade II* listed status.The coffin factory was a candidate in Restoration (2003 BBCTV series), however did not receive enough votes to enter into the finals.The coffin factory was purchased by Advantage West Midlands in April 2003 and plans are being made to convert it into a museum, paid for by refurbishing part of the building into offices and letting it out tenants.
