Abstract:		 Birmingham Archaeology undertook a programme of historic building recording and an ornamental audit in May 2007 at the surviving office block of the former Bloomfield works of James Grove and Sons Ltd, Button Manufacturers, Halesowen. The work was required as a condtion of planning consent prior to the demolition of the building and the redevelopment of the former factory site for mixed use. The street elevation in particular was recorded in detail, including the animal head motifs at the head of the applied brick pilasters which articulate the elevation. The structure as recorded represented an interesting though thouroughly unremarkable example of an early 20th century office building. The recent demolition of the remainder of the associated factory complex has served to remove the building almost completely from its historical context, and to reduce the contribution it made to its former streetscape. The building has lost its original exterior fenestration and an elaborate entrance porch, illustrated on original architects drawings. Internally however, the building was found to survive much as built, and retained a high proportion of original fittings, including carpentry detailing and brass door furniture.
