Abstract:		 A programme of historic building recording was carried out at 7-8a Freeman Street, Birmingham, West Midlands (NGR SP 0747 8685) on behalf Countryside Properties (Northern) Ltd in advance of demolition of the buildings as part of the proposed City Park Gate development. The recording work was carried out to a degree equivalent to the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England''s Level 3 (RCHME 1996). Freeman Street was staked out for building in 1724/5, and the site of Nos 7-8a built up between 1731 and 1750. Some 18th-century fabric survives, and it is probable that the 18th-century property boundaries are preserved within the existing building complex. A major redevelopment of the site took place c. 1865, when both Nos 7 and 8 were provided with three-storey workshops to the rear, and a large part of the existing fabric appears to date from this time. During the mid-20th century No. 8 was subdivided into Nos 8 and 8a, and No. 8a largely rebuilt. Around the same time, No.7 was gutted and rebuilt internally, though the shell of the earlier building may have been retained. Also, during the mid and later 20th century the rear yards of these properties were roofed over to provide additional accommodation. Few significant internal features survived, notable exceptions being the late 19th-century roof structures over the two workshops. Targeted stripping of the various claddings is recommended in order to elucidate the extent to which the 18th-century fabric is preserved.
