Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken at The Thimblemill Public House, 174, Thimblemill Road, Smethwick, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough (NGR 401650 287020). It was undertaken on behalf of Brooke Smith Planning, whose client proposes the demolition of the existing Thimblemill Public House and residential redevelopment, for which a planning application has been submitted to Sandwell Metropolitan Borough. 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. The Thimblemill public house was named after the site of a watermill which formerly stood slightly to the north of the site. The mill, which is depicted on Yates' map of 1775, had fallen out of use by 1890. There is no indication that buildings associated with the mill existed on the site of the public house. The public house, with associated cellar, appears to have been terraced into the slope, with the construction of a bowling green behind. It is concluded that there is a low potential for the presence of archaeological deposits on the site so the impact of the development on below ground deposits is likely to be minimal. |
