Abstract: |
Report on Level II Standing Building Survey at Former Griffin and Fudge Premises, Whiteheads Lane, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire. The development will construct six new dwellings and convert the Griffin and Fudge office building into two apartments and a commercial office unit. The former Griffin and Fudge premises comprise an L shaped office, which is the southern half of a larger and formerly gable ended building, fronting onto Whiteheads Lane; and an interconnected group of modern concrete block built industrial units to the west of the site. The office building is built of Bath stone and is almost certainly an extant part of a larger former brewery building of the G and T Spencer Brewery, which occupied the site by 1887. Originally four storeys, the property has been reduced to only two, the southern half of the gable end having been converted into a flat roof. Although predominantly built of concrete block, elements of Bath stone masonry were observed within the walls of the industrial units, again probably remnants of the earlier Brewery. While many original features exist both inside and outside of the property, substantial remodelling during the later 19th to early 20th century has destroyed much. The deterioration of the roof structure has led to water ingress and pigeon infestation. To the rear of the building the collapse of the coach house of No.27 and former workshop roof has caused much damage. The coach house has been almost completely destroyed, while the former workshop is deteriorating rapidly. |
