In 1820, Jeremiah Chubb joined his brother Charles in starting their own lock company. They moved from Portsmouth to Wolverhampton, which was the lockmaking capital of Great Britain and, after occupying several properties in the city, commissioned architect C.H.M. Mileham to design this imposing 6-storey brick building on Fryer Street to act as their main factory in 1898. At it's height, 350 locksmiths were employed here. The Chubb lock reportedly became popular as a result of the interest generated when George IV accidentally sat on a Chubb lock that still had the key inserted.
I wish I didn't have to crop this - there was a huge concrete ramp in front of this building - but my three friends are standing posing in front of it, and I know they don't want to be displayed on Flickr!

The original University of Liverpool building, apparently the reason traditional universities got their nickname "Redbrick" universities was because of this building?

Kronhuset ("the Crown House" in English), formerly known as Giötheborgz Tyghuhs ('Gothenburg's Arsenal'), is a redbrick building in Västra Nordstaden in Göteborg. It was constructed from 1643 to 1654 in a Dutch style, and is Göteborg's joint-oldest secular building along with the Torstenson Palace (constructed 1648-50). The royal architect Simon de la Vallée is believed to have designed the building. The Kronhus was originally used as an arsenal for the city garrison and as a granary to store food reserves so that the city could survive a siege. On December 9, 1927, the ownership of Kronhuset passed from the Swedish state to Göteborg Municipality. It has been a byggnadsminne, a listed building, since October 24, 1968.

Göteborg (often spelled Gothenburg in English) is the capital of Västra Götaland County in the southwest of Sweden. It is the second-largest city in Scandinavian country, following Stockholm, and the fifth-largest in the Nordic countries. Göteborg is situated by the Kattegat on the west coast of Sweden, with a population of approximately 600,000 in the city proper and about 1.1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area in the 2020s.
King Gustavus Adolphus founded Göteborg by royal charter in 1621 as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony. In addition to the generous privileges given to his Dutch allies during the ongoing Thirty Years' War, he also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast; this trading status was furthered by the founding of the Swedish East India Company. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Göteborg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries.

Not too sure as to whether this building is still in use, or what might it have been in the past, but It just was so striking i had to get a shot and turn it into HDR, once you try HDR nothing can usually get as close to what the real shot was like at that moment as HDR can.
I'd love to find out more about this building if anyone has any info on it?

On my walk this morning. I love the little port holes on the garage door that you can just see on the far left.
