Abstract:		 In November 2006 a programme of historic building was undertaken by ASC at 42-52 Diglis Road in advance of demolition and redevelopment. The site lies on the north side of Diglis Basin, and development of the area in the 19th century was closely linked to the canal. There is evidence to suggest that the land between Diglis Road and the canal was divided into plots for sale for speculative development in the first half of the 19th century. The earliest building on the site is the warehouse fronting the canal basin, identified as having been used by a millwright. This two-storey brick structure was built between 1816 and 1838, on the south of the two walled plots comprising the site. Between 1838 and 1869 the two plots were further developed, with the construction of two brick-built terraces, each comprising three dwellings, on the Diglis Road frontage of each plot. Nos 42-46, on the north plot, were all small 'two up, two down' cottages, with a common yard and facilities to the rear. Nos 50-52, on the southern plot, were similar, while no.48 was a much larger and better-appointed house, incorporating on its south side a 'ginnel', leading to the rear of the plot. The rear of each plot was bounded by a wall, and it is possible that these areas were originally used for growing vegetables or keeping small livestock. The site appears to have remained in this form until the second half of the 20th century. In the 1950s or 1960s the two plots were amalgamated, and a two-storey industrial unit was constructed to the north of the warehouse, occupying the full canal frontage. 42-46 ceased to be occupied, and were reduced to a single storey and converted to garages. A link was constructed between no. 52 and the warehouse. The ground floors of 50-52 were converted for commercial use, and the first floors were turned into bedsits.
