The museum educates visitors about the social and industrial history of the site, which operated from 1894–1998 as a coffin furniture factory. The museum opened in October 2014 after a fifteen-year campaign by the <a href="/wiki/Birmingham_Conservation_Trust" title="Birmingham Conservation Trust">Birmingham Conservation Trust</a> to save the factory building, which ceased trading in 1998, and raise the funds to transform it into a heritage attraction.

In 1894, the company moved to a new factory at 13–15 Fleet Street in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, designed by Roger Harley in 1892.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The move to the new factory coincided with a change in Newman Brothers' production line; the company was now listed as a 'Coffin Furniture Manufacturer' and specialised in the manufacture of brass furniture for use in the production of coffins. This specialisation was unsurprising, as not only did the production of coffin furnishings use similar manufacturing techniques and processes, but the funerary industry presented more opportunity for profit. The term "coffin furniture" refers to a wide range of products from handles, crucifixes, nameplates and ornaments to 'soft goods' such as <a href="/wiki/Shroud" title="Shroud">shrouds</a>, funerary gowns, coffin linings and cushions.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NewmanBros-318.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/NewmanBros-318.jpg/220px-NewmanBros-318.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/NewmanBros-318.jpg/330px-NewmanBros-318.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/NewmanBros-318.jpg/440px-NewmanBros-318.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2000" data-file-height="1335" /></a><figcaption>The factory's warehouse as it would have appeared in the 1960s.</figcaption></figure> <p>Edwin ceased to be involved in the business from 1895, leaving Alfred as the business' sole trader until his death in 1933. He was succeeded by his two sons, George and Horace, who ran the company until their deaths in 1944 and 1952 respectively. Horace's death marked the end of the Newman family's direct management of the factory, though his sister Nina continued to own shares in the factory until 1980. The running of the business passed to the Doggart and Whittington families, alongside a group of shareholder directors.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Newman Brothers' last owner, Joyce Green, acquired the company in 1976 following the death of the company's two main managing directors.

One of the central contributing factors was the decrease in the popularity of metal coffin furniture, a change which was facilitated largely by the increasing popularity of <a href="/wiki/Cremation" title="Cremation">cremation</a> in the UK. Legislation outlawing the use of metal coffin furniture in cremations began to appear across the country in the 1960s and <a href="/wiki/Injection_moulding" title="Injection moulding">injection moulded plastic</a> emerged as the most common material used to make coffin fittings. Whilst Newman Brothers did produce a single range of plastic handles, breastplates and lid motifs, they were generally unwilling to compromise their reputation as manufacturers of the highest quality goods. </p><p>The firm was reluctant to modernise and update their manufacturing processes and continued to produce high quality, cast brass coffin fittings until the company was forced to cease trading in 1998. The company, which up until this point had been one of only three coffin furniture manufacturers still operational in the UK, was officially dissolved the following year.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Restoration">Restoration</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Newman_Brothers_Coffin_Furniture_Factory&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Restoration"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Coffin_Works_-_Newman_Bros_-_Fleet_Street,_Birmingham_(15184139688).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/The_Coffin_Works_-_Newman_Bros_-_Fleet_Street%2C_Birmingham_%2815184139688%29.jpg/220px-The_Coffin_Works_-_Newman_Bros_-_Fleet_Street%2C_Birmingham_%2815184139688%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/The_Coffin_Works_-_Newman_Bros_-_Fleet_Street%2C_Birmingham_%2815184139688%29.jpg/330px-The_Coffin_Works_-_Newman_Bros_-_Fleet_Street%2C_Birmingham_%2815184139688%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/The_Coffin_Works_-_Newman_Bros_-_Fleet_Street%2C_Birmingham_%2815184139688%29.jpg/440px-The_Coffin_Works_-_Newman_Bros_-_Fleet_Street%2C_Birmingham_%2815184139688%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4288" data-file-height="3216" /></a><figcaption>Building entrance in 2014, following renovation.</figcaption></figure> <p>Joyce Green led the fight for the factory's restoration as a museum following the company's collapse in the 1990s, not wishing to see the building redeveloped or the company's social history forgotten.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2000, the factory received Grade II* listed status from <a href="/wiki/English_Heritage" title="English Heritage">English Heritage</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-awm_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-awm-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In March 2001, <a href="/wiki/Birmingham_Conservation_Trust" title="Birmingham Conservation Trust">Birmingham Conservation Trust</a> carried out a feasibility study on the building and raised concerns about the threat of redevelopment and the possible loss of the building.
