Crocodile bites back with Bonsers refurb
Restoration company Bonsers has completed building work on a former machete factory in Birmingham. The Nottingham-based business took six weeks to complete the restoration programme for the 19th century Crocodile Works building.
Crocodile Works, which is based in Aston, is being transformed into 126 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and 42 three-, four- and five- bedroom homes. Regeneration organisation RSL Midland Heart and developer William Davis are working on the project.
The building was famous for the production of swords and sheep shearing equipment.
Jo Bonser, of Bonsers Restoration, said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed our work on this project. It has been particularly interesting working on the capital columns and it is great restoring buildings to their former glory.
“We carried out several phases of work, restoring two facades and carefully cleaning decorative parts of the building.”
