Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken on behalf of The Environment Agency along part of the route of the Tipton Brook, Sandwell (NGR ref SO 96676 92917). The Environment Agency intend to improve the brook by altering its course and undertaking landscaping works. This report describes and assesses the significance of the heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that are potentially affected by the application. The setting of heritage assets is considered. The potential impact of the application, and the need for further on-site evaluation, is assessed. Whereas there is some possibility of there being Bronze Age remains or deposits that contain environmental indicators (that help reconstruct past vegetation), these are not known for certain. Of greater interest is the site of the Horseley Iron Works which was founded in 1792 and is recognised as the factory which produced the world's first iron steam boat, the 'Aaron Manby', in 1822. It also produced a myriad of other iron and steel products such as locomotives, piers, munitions, gasworks, pipes and in particular, bridges. The works was one of the most prolific manufacturers of canal bridges in the West Midlands. The works are shown in detail on maps dating to 1837 and 1849. The works moved to a new site in 1866.
