A venue like no other. Austin Court is an attractive group of Georgian buildings grouped around a garden courtyard, with various parts of differing design and date blended together. Designed by architect Roger Beale and opened in 1997, the modern Austin Court retains a great many of the features and structure of the original building. Originally called the Kingston Buildings, Austin Court was re-named in honour of Herbert Austin, later Lord Austin of Longbridge, the pioneering Midlands car manufacturer. It stands canal side in a re-developed area at the heart of the Midlands industrial heritage, with the main junction of the Birmingham canal system located nearby. The Austin Court site's history can be traced to 1803, when the nail and metal goods merchants Theodore and Philemon Price moved their business to a warehouse on Kingston Wharf. After 1821 other metal merchants occupied the building until 1871 when Walter Showell & Sons, Brewers took over. By the early 20th Century the building was in multiple use, with occupants including a garage, a cycle company, a paint manufacturer and a maker of Iglodine, which was used in factory first aid boxes. The site has also been used as a storage area for goods ranging from lime and cement to wartime gas. In 1992 the building was selected by the IET (known as IEE at the time) as the location for the Midlands� Engineering Centre and now serves as a regional base for its members as well as being available as a venue for business meetings and events.
