Summary of 2002 projects

8-10 TENBY STREET, BIRMINGHAM
NGR: SP 0595 8750

Building recording and analysis was carried out, along with a programme of documentary research, prior to partial demolition and redevelopment. The standing building on the street frontage is all that remains of a speculative development of the site of circa 1880, which also included three suites of rear workshops and yards.

The frontage building is a brick structure of mixed architectural styles. It is of three storeys and a basement level. The upper storey was replaced, probably in the early twentieth century, by a fully glazed top shop. It was in multiple occupation, partly as a restaurant/beerhouse with attached accommodation, but largely for various trades associated with the jewellery industry.
