AS Rolling Mills, Cradely Heath, Sandwell, West Midlands. Historic Building Recording

In August 2007, Birmingham Archaeology carried out a programme of historic building recording and analysis on AS Rolling Mills, 75 Lower High Street, Cradley Heath (NGR SO 9400 8581) in advance of the redevelopment of the site. The buildings were recorded at a variety of levels from Level 1 to 3 dependent on their period and style. The site showed continued development from late 19th-century beginnings through to the late 20th century. The buildings surveyed were typical of their type and age, showing no particular architectural flair or significance, having been constructed for purely functional purposes. However, the continued usage of the site, and its constructional history make it a prime example of the industrial development of this area of Cradley Heath and the Black Country during the 19th and 20th centuries.
