Soho Manufactory: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

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.
