Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment of Banners Lane, Cradley, near Halesowen, West Midlands was carried out for MarCity Developments in advance of proposed re-development of the site. The desk-based assessment, identified an early water mill site within the study area dating from 1525 and a blacking mill established on the site during the early 20th century. At this time too a single track Mineral Railway was constructed across the site, to carry coal from the surrounding collieries to the foundries, and other industrial premises which had established themselves within Cradley. During the 1920s the site was redeveloped, the blacking mill buildings were demolished and in their place a foundry was established, which remained in use until recently. Alterations to the course of the River Stour and the development of the site for industrial uses during the twentieth century are likely to have destroyed all archaeological evidence of the early water-powered mill. Landscaping and levelling at the site have destroyed remains of the mineral railway and the blacking mill.
