Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken of Barn 2 (Unit 3), Pottery Farm, Mucklow Hill, Halesowen, West Midlands. It was undertaken on behalf of Neil Shepherd Design Ltd, in response to the requirements of the Senior Conservation Officer, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC). The requirement results from the submission of a planning application to DMBC, which proposes part demolition and alteration of two existing barns for conversion into three dwellings of which Barn 2 (Unit 3) is the subject of this assessment. This report describes and assesses the significance of the heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that are potentially affected by the application. The setting of heritage assets is considered. The potential impact of the application and the need for further mitigation is assessed. The barn itself is first depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1883. It is not depicted on the tithe map for the township of Hill, dated 1846, but it is conjectured from the style of its construction and form of bricks that it probably have existed at this time. Barn 2 is one of two surviving buildings which were formerly associated with a small pottery known as Bellevue Potteries which is first depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as a linear set of buildings including two which are circular and likely to have been kilns. There is little available historic evidence for the pottery (although Dudley Records were not available at the time of this study). The pottery was demolished by 1919 and the area where it formerly stood is now rough open ground. Barn 2 is currently derelict with a galvanised frontage into which wooden doors are set. The roof is shored with plastic sheeting. A considerable depth of made ground has been deposited to the rear in recent years.
