Abstract:		 Documentary research was carried out to elucidate the construction history of No. 31 Commercial Street (Shaw Munster Ltd), Birmingham. The property is a sub-division of a plot of land that was developed c. 1862 as a sawmill and timber yard, by a man called Alfred Bullock, and included the whole area now occupied by Nos 25-31. By 1888 Bullock had raised buildings along the northwest and southwest sides of the plot, the latter being on the site of the present No. 31 and adjacent to the pre-existing Washington Foundry (on the site of the present Nos 37-45). Around 1890, the Washington Foundry premises were taken over by the Adamant Company Limited, lime cement manufacturers, an event which prompted some rebuilding of the old works. Architect''s plans of 1897 for the reconstruction of what is now Nos 37-45 Commercial Street show that an 18 in thick northeast-southwest wall was to be built up against an existing northeast-southwest wall on the adjacent plot (now No. 31) to form the boundary with Alfred Bullock''s property. This boundary wall of 1897 appears to have remained in situ ever since.
