I’m just in love with the entire feeling behind these photos. It feels like love. These men are making guns, and yet these photos feel like love letters to a forgotten part of Birmingham’s history. I’m a distinctly amateur photographer in comparison, I’m learning the ropes, and this has inspired me to look more, look closer and take my time. Thank you so much!!!

Very many thanks for this opportunity of an inside view into this almost extinguished world of craftsmen. The photos in black and white somehow bring out a different quality with deep shadows, and make you imagination work a bit harder, they certainly make you dwell a little longer on each shot, or maybe it is just the excellence and content of the photos. I wonder just how many viewers of these excellent photos will think they are from a bygone era. May Price Street and it’s craftsmen live fore ever!

How delightful it is to sit here on this Thanksgiving Day of 2016 and be thankful for those craftsmen whose knowledge and skills, though hard earned, were yet God given. May the British gun trade and especially so Westley Richards, continue to be blessed and thereby bless hunting sportsmen and women for many decades to come.
Somehow B/W film is more appropriate to show the age old working conditions of the crafts and the ancient environs where they occur. My compliments to the photographer and of course to those craftsmen who are carrying on.
Very best regards to all concerned,
Miles

Thank you Brett, what a pleasure to view these grand photographs. And thanks too to all the fine craftsmen for allowing us to spy on them for a few moments through Brett’s lens.
Quite fascinating. Bravo Birmingham.
