Abstract: |
In September 2017 AS carried out an a programme of historic building monitoring and recording at The Former Barley Mow Public House, Barley Mow Lane, Colney Heath, St Albans, Hertfordshire. The work was commissioned in order to fulfil a condition of planning consent to demolish the building and develop the site. The monitoring and recording expanded on a previous investigation at the site, and the appearance and proportions of the building as well as areas of original brickwork suggested the original building was consistent with a late 18th or early 19th century date. It was originally named Sion Cottage but by the late 19th century was the Barley Mow Public House. A fire in 1919 substantially damaged the building which was largely rebuilt in Fletton brick, though retaining some areas of original brickwork in the outer walls and the chimney stacks. Repeated modification throughout the second half of the 20th century saw the public house altered with mock timber framing and modern windows and doors, while extensions saw the removal of much of the external walling. As it existed prior to demolition, there were no fixtures and fittings surviving and only traces of its former historic character survived. |
