Abstract: |
In August and September 2011, the Worcestershire Historic Environment and Archaeology Service undertook a desk-based assessment of the Arrow Works in Studley, Warwickshire (NGR SP 07091 64357). The assessment was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey Midlands to inform a planning application. The assessment identified the Arrow Works factory as a heritage asset of architectural and potential cultural significance. The factory was built in 1947-1949 as the main needleworking factory of Henry Milward and Sons Ltd, and won three awards for architectural merit. Most of the original factory survives, although its fabric and setting have been compromised to some extent by later changes. The assessment also identified potential heritage assets in the form of a palaeochannel of late glacial origin, and remains of medieval and post-medieval agriculture. It also suggested that the Roman road known as Ryknield Street could have run through the proposed development area, alongside the present Birmingham Road, and that there were medieval or post-medieval buildings on the frontage of Redditch Road, to the east of the proposed development area. |
