Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken of land adjacent to 86, Walsall Street, Wednesbury, Sandwell, West Midlands (NGR 39904 29509). It was undertaken on behalf of Bartrams Sales and Lettings Ltd, in response to requirements of Sandwell Metropolitan District Council. 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 on-site evaluation, is assessed. The site is located c 200m to the north east of Wednesbury town centre. Cartographic evidence from 1799 shows linear development along arterial roads leading to Wednesbury, and buildings are shown at this site's location. The Tithe map of 1846 shows indicates a barn, a stable and yard at this location, with a rectangular building depicted immediately south of a terrace facing onto Walsall Street. These buildings may have been light industrial as well as agricultural in nature. The development of Wednesbury as an industrial hub throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries provided opportunities for cottage industries such as nail making, before technological advances allowed large scale exploitation of the natural coal and ironstone resources of the town and surrounding area. By 1890 the proposed development site is shown immediately adjacent to a Coach Axle Works, one of several in the town. The rectangular building on the site has been retained, as has one abutting it, and some further building has occurred. The end of the Victorian era saw the demolition of the terraces facing onto Walsall Road and the replacement with slightly larger and more regular properties, mainly residential, but some industrial as well.
