History
Fazeley Studios might be a 21st century creative community, but architecturally, the building dates back nearly 150 years to when Digbeth was a gritty industrial and commercial centre. We've done all we can to preserve this heritage, maintaining a strong sense of continuity with the past.
The grand central reception was formerly a Unitarian Chapel designed by George Ingall and opened in 1876.
The oldest part of the building was constructed as a Unitarian Sunday school in 1865, and now houses a spacious conference room and a group of character studios.
The north light studios occupy a series of factory buildings dating from the 1920s.
Digbeth was first settled in the 6th century and became an important centre for industry in medieval times as local rivers were harnessed to power its mills, before playing its part in the industrial revolution. In the 21st century, the area's excellent accessibility, facilities and affordability are promoting it as the Creative and Digital capital of the region.
Fazeley Studios was conceived in 2006, and with the support of Advantage West Midlands has been the subject of a comprehensive reconstruction.Camera location | View this and other nearby images on: OpenStreetMap |
