Abstract:
In August 2010, Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted a programme of historic building recording of the boiler house and associated chimney at the William Bartlett and Son site, Grafton Street, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The recording was commissioned to comply with a planning condition attached to planning consent to demolish the building. The project revealed that the initial factory buildings were constructed in 1901 / 1902, although it is clear from both physical evidence and information found on a number of early plans, that the boiler house and factory chimney date from a later phase of development on the site. There appear to have been at least four significant phases of expansion following the development of a thriving furniture manufacturers, beginning with a relatively modest array of buildings. The construction of the boiler house coincides with phases of development carried out between 1912 and the early 1920s. The development is somewhat confused, for parts of the boiler house incorporate earlier walls predating the adjoining building to the south, and hence fall into the earlier time span. Evidence suggests that the boiler and much of the building to the south was constructed fairly soon after the production of the 1912 plan. However, the chimney and remainder of the walling dates to the early 1920s, perhaps representing a new chimney constructed as a replacement for a smaller example associated with the earlier boiler.
