Kirkaldy’s Testing Works is a rare survivor in Southwark’s Bankside – built and opened 150 years ago this year as the world’s first purpose-built commercial independent testing works housing Kirkaldy’s patented 47-ft Universal Testing Machine. The machine is still in working order (it still pulls metal apart) and both the building and – unusually – the working machine, are listed Grade II*. Much more info here https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1385928 and here https://www.testingworks.org.uk.
