Abstract:		 In April 2003 Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit (BUFAU) undertook an historical building assessment of the former HSBC Bennett's Hill Branch Bank situated at the junction of Bennett's Hill and Waterloo Street, central Birmingham. The work was carried out for HSBC to assess the archaeological implications of restoration work on the building and its adaptation for reuse. The work consisted of documentary research of primary and secondary sources, and a rapid appraisal of the building itself, comprising a limited photographic record supplemented by written notes. The bank, which was designed by the architectural practice of Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson in a neo-classical style, opened in 1831 as the office of the Birmingham Banking Company. In 1865 the bank was remodelled to the designs of Charles Edge. The following year the bank ceased to trade but the company was soon resurrected as the Birmingham Banking Company Limited. In 1870, a new strong room, also designed by Edge, was constructed in the basement, and shortly afterwards Yeoville Thomason was appointed as architect for substantial alterations carried out in 1877, including a major refurbishment of the interior. Subsequent works included a three-storey addition, probably of the 1880s, perhaps by Harris and Marten, and the construction, in the 1930s, of an upper storey over the original building.
