In November 2020 Cotswold Archaeology was commsioned to undertake a Level 3 Building Recording of the buildings known as The Lampworks in Great Hampton Street and Barr Street, Birmingham. The buildings are due to be redeveloped as part of planning permission 2018/10135/PA which will see the site developed into a mixed-use residential complex of 129 units. The Site is a complex conglomeration of buildings and courtyard spaces which have been developed, heavily and invasively altered, subdivided and infilled over time. The original iterations of the site comprised of a series of street frontage buildings of mixed 19th century age with linear workshop ranges and linear yards to their rear, sandwiched between Great Hampton Street and Barr Street on the outskirts of Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. The majority of the buildings on the site were taken over in 1912 by the Frederick Restall Ltd furniture company; over the first half of the 20th century this company demolished a series of courtyard ranges to construct the four main warehouse/factory buildings seen today, whilst also converting and assimilating other buildings and yards into ad hoc manufacturing and storage spaces. The recording has identified, within the constraints of safe access, many of those elements of existing building fabric which remain from the earlier buildings of the Site during its time as a site of jewellery and metal working, these include spine and flank walls, roofscapes, fenestration and some plan form and facades in the remaining frontage buildings. These fragments of the earlier buildings have also assisted in a broad analysis of the development of the site over time.
