Abstract:		 Birmingham Archaeology was commissioned in February 2010 by Entec UK Ltd, working on behalf of Central Networks, to undertake an Historic Building Record and Appraisal at the Commercial Road Electricity Substation, Gloucester, Gloucestershire (NGR: SO 82884 18466 ). The record was required by the Historic Environment Manager of Gloucester City Council in advance of the reconfiguration of the substation in order to meet future increases in demand. The study has established that the administration block dates most probably to the first half of the 1830s and was related to a building formerly lying to the west, used from 1834 by the 'Commercial Rooms Society of Merchants for the Promotion of Trade of the Port of Gloucester'. Whatever its origin, it was certainly in place by 1843 when it is indicated on Causton's Map of the City and Borough of Gloucester. It would appear to have originally been arranged as four discrete office suites with separate entrances to the east elevation, traceable within the surviving fabric. The building has clearly undergone significant phases of alteration and adaptation over time, perhaps including the full reconstruction of the Commercial Road elevation. It is unclear whether the building formed a part of the Gloucester Electricity Works from its inception, though it was incorporated into the latter by 1923 at the latest when surviving drawings delineate extensive alterations to the structure.
