Abstract: |
Birmingham Archaeology was commissioned in July 2010 by Mr Carl Higgs of Design to Build of Coseley to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment and historic building assessment in respect of the Earl of Wessex public house, Summerhill Road, Coseley, Dudley, West Midlands (NGR SO 94650 94550). The study was required by the Historic Environment Team of Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC) to inform discussions related to planning application P10/0738, which includes the demolition of the building as part of a scheme for redevelopment of the site for residential purposes. Externally, the building has suffered significantly from the addition of a series of extensions related principally to its use as a public house, in particular its comprehensive refenestration and the introduction of an unsympathetic, glazed conservatory range to the street elevation. Such additions are however, for the most part, reversible and the core of the 19th-century house survives substantially intact. Internally, successive programmes of reorganisation have removed much evidence for its original arrangements, particularly at ground floor level and, as a result, have reduced the evidential value of the building somewhat. |
