Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Birmingham Archaeology during May and June at Birmingham Town Hall, Chamberlain Square, Birmingham. This Work followed an initial watching brief carried out in 2003. During refurbishment the watching brief observed phases of alteration in the architectural features of the north face of the building, with balustrades having been removed from below window openings and glazing having beeen enlarged. Bricks with makers stamps suggest that these alterations were made between the 1860''s and early 1890''s. Documaentary sources detailing refurbishments suggest that this work may have been carried out between 1875 and 1891. A well pre-dating the town hall was recorded in the basement, cut into natural sandstone. The well was not excavated, but it is likely that it relates to late 18th century buildings on the site, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out. Groundworks were observed to the north of the Town hall, which revealed natural clays and gravels overlain by modern deposits.
