	Foundry Lane: Round the Bends
		Foundry Lane is interesting for the way it separates yet binds Soho Foundry and the Black Patch.
		The road can be understood as a spine, which both connects and separates: that which is on the left is very much connected to that which is on the right, but the two sides are distinct in their placement and detail, as is the thing that runs between them.
		Foundry Lane has been and continues to be a place of changes: the maisonettes will be knocked down, a spine road will be run through the allotments and the park, the old factories will be levelled and replaced with aluminium sheds, the current 'notorious' tenants will move out and new 'upmarket' ones will move in.

	Matthew Boulton
		It was here that his ambitious plans were realised and the world famous Soho Manufactory was built at a huge cost of £10,000.
		At its completion in 1765 it was a major attraction and an icon of the Industrial might of the great manufacturing empire that he had created.
		Soho House which was near the site of the manufactory still stands and acts as a museum and testament to his achievements.

	And afterwards ...
		Soho House is a short distance along, on the left.
		As such it has undergone considerable change and although it says 'Soho Foundry' on the wall, the building you see is not the original one.
		Walk along Foundry Road, which is opposite Lodge Road, go under the railway and turn right into Wellington Street and then first left into Foundry Lane and the Soho Foundry is a little way along on the left.

		However numerous accounts exist that by 1794 Murdoch was producing coal gas from a small retort containing burning coals with a three or four foot iron tube attached, through which he piped the gas before sending it through an old gun barrel and igniting it to produce light.
		In view of the smell, risk of poisoning and chance of accidental combustion of this experimental method of lighting it is no surprise that it was not, even by its inventor, used as widely or as casually as is today often claimed.
		In 1798 Murdoch returned to Birmingham to work in the Soho foundry and continued his experiments with gas, as part of which he lit the interior of the Soho main building, although it is likely that it was lit only in part and not (at this time) permanently.

		On the younger Watt's death in 1848 the Soho Manufactory and the mint which Matthew Boulton had established there were closed, and the firm, thenceforth known as James Watt and Co., carried on work only at Soho Foundry.
		(Footnote 98) In 1860 a former interest of the firm was revived when a mint was opened at the Foundry, and much of the country's new bronze coinage introduced in 1860 was struck by James Watt and Co. and the Birmingham firm of Ralph Heaton and Sons.
		In 1866 there were eleven screw coinage presses at the Foundry mint and the firm was striking copper and bronze coins, presumably for foreign governments since it appears to have done no work for the Royal Mint after 1863.

		In close connection with this works, a wheel foundry was established at the same period by William Gartshore, of the well-known Canadian railway supply family of that name, which functioned until the end of the gauge conversion period on Canadian railways slowed the temporarily abnormal demand.
		The foundry was able to produce the castings for the metal parts of the cars, and the rest of the construction involved the use of lumber and timber, of which there was a plentiful supply in the Cobourg district at the time.

		The locomotive is said to have been made by Hackworth at his Soho Foundry, Shildon ca.
		Although parts were removed sometime after its retirement as a locomotive, and the remains are quite corroded, 'Braddyll' is rare because among other things, it does not appear to have been subject to any major alterations since built, nor has it been restored; what material of the locomotive is present is likely to be 'original'.
		While 'Braddyll' has many features of the 'Hackworth School' of locomotive building, the differences mean that it is possible that it was not built at Soho Foundry, but by one of the other local builders, including Hackworth's brother, Thomas.
