Abstract: |
In 2013 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council carried out an historic building record at the former Bartle's Foundry on Dudnance Lane in Pool, centred at NGR SW 6653 4096. The work was commissioned by Cornwall Council (Strategic Planning and Transportation) and carried out in order to satisfy several conditions for planning consent to demolish the historic buildings to make way for the construction of a new road and for the widening of Dudnance Lane. Fieldwork included a laser scan survey (undertaken by Sumo Services Ltd), a photographic survey, analysis of the buildings and historical research. The proposed development lies within Cornwall's principal mining area and part of it occupies the site of a former 19th century works known initially as 'Basset's Foundry' and later as 'Bartle's Foundry'. The foundry continued in use until 1951 when the site and buildings were bought by Holman Brothers Ltd and the Bartle's business moved to the old Redruth Foundry in North Street, Redruth. At a later stage the former Bartle's foundry site was taken over by the local authority and became a council depot. In recent years the northern buildings have been leased to Coastline Services Ltd. Bartle's Foundry retains an almost complete and extensive group of specialised industrial buildings associated with the production and finishing iron and brass parts for industrial use. The surviving buildings within the complex include former pattern stores, pattern shops, a moulding shop, a machine (and erecting) shop with associated chimney, a blacksmith's shop, a boiler house and various other buildings of unknown function. Detailed building analysis along with measured survey and map regression has enabled the historic development of the foundry complex to be understood . The study has identified seven major phases of new builds and extensions and alterations to existing buildings indicating a complex history of a flourishing and constantly expanding business. |
