Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological standing building survey of the former Woodman Inn, Old Hall Street, Hanley, Stoke on Trent (NGR SJ 88518 47587), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Caldmore Residential in advance of the consented change of use of the first and second floors to residential use. The Woodman Inn is a fine example of an Edwardian public house built at the turn of the 20th century, probably built following the late 19th century slum clearances in the area. The Woodman appears to have been a successful pub with publicans staying long term. The exact status of the pub in its early years is unclear; the pub was rarely listed by name on maps or in trade directories until 1940 and is listed as a Beer House. Signage indicates the pub was a whiskey bonder and descriptions in the trade directories hint at a more retail nature. The exterior of the pub is an attractive, well finished Edwardian facade, with ornate window reveals, pilasters and a painted relief depicting a woodsman. The interior has suffered as a result of extensive historic and modern re-modelling, leaving little of historical or architectural interest. The cellar is relatively large, supporting the status of the pub as a bonded warehouse and the first and second floors retain some historical features. The archive will be deposited with The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery under the Accession Number 2017.LH.96. |
