The total street furniture requirement supplied, all in Corten Steel, comprised:

Tyseley Wharf, on the Grand Union Canal, was up until 1957 busy with commercial barges unloading cargos such as zinc & steel.  In conjunction with Birmingham City Council, the Canal & River Trust is redeveloping the area to once again be a hive of industry; and central to the plan is the construction of a new, high quality business park at Tyseley Wharf, providing up to 250,000sqft (23,500 sq. metres) of new industrial warehousing.
