Abstract: |
An historic building survey was carried out on the site of 48 - 52 Queen's Road, Brentwood, between the 4th and 6th September 2012. The buildings on the site were photographed, measurements taken, and notes made. This has enabled a general understanding of the development, phasing, and dating of the buildings to be gained, alongside identifying features related to their original functions and changes in these over time. This has been compared with cartographic and documentary sources where available. The first buildings on this site were the cottages in the eastern part of the site, built between 1838 and 1847. The next development on the site was the construction of the large building fronting onto Queen's Road, constructed at some point between 1855 and 1872, as an industrial building and initially used for coach building. A number of buildings are first depicted on the 1896 OS Map, including the single-storey building on Coptfold Road, the single-storey building attached to this, and the southern part of the single-storey building on Queen's Road. This reflects the general later 19th century industrial development of this site, possibly associated with the coach building business. Later changes to the site took place between 1952 and 1964-70, and include the construction of the north-south building along the western side of the site (constructed in three phases); the addition of the toilet block; and the extension of room 7 northwards. These changes, alongside other changes to the already-existing buildings, may reflect the change in function of this site - by the 1950s a number of other businesses, including an electrical business, occupied the site. |
