5781.02.01 November 2016 0.1 Daw Mill Colliery North Warwickshire Historic Environment Assessment

1.0 Introduction 1.1 This report provides a description of the historic environment baseline conditions for land at Daw Mill Colliery, North Warwickshire. It has been commissioned by Harworth Estates Ltd in support of a planning appeal. 1.2 The appeal proposals, which have been amended from the original planning application, comprise an outline planning application for the redevelopment of the Daw Mill Colliery site for a maximum of 24,652 sqm (265,345 sqft) of built floor space for employment uses comprising wholly B2 (General Industry) development: ancillary open storage areas, associated car parking, servicing yards, gantry crane, infrastructure and utilities, retention and use of existing infrastructure including rail head and sidings, site vehicular access, grid connection, electricity sub-station and reconfigured surface water drainage infrastructure. In addition to the redevelopment of the former colliery site, road improvement works are proposed at Coleshill, Fillongley, Furnace End and Over Whitacre.

1.3 The desk-based assessment has been undertaken in accordance with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Standard and Guidance for historic environment desk- based assessment (CIfA, 2014). Site Location

1.4 The site is located at Grid Reference SP256902, in North Warwickshire District, Warwickshire. The site is within the parishes of Over Whitacre, Fillongley and Arley, with road improvement works also proposed at Coleshill and Furnace End. Figure 2 shows the location of the proposed works. Aims and Objectives

1.5 The aim of this assessment is to provide:

 a description of the baseline historic environment conditions within the development site and areas of road improvements,

 a description of the archaeological potential of the development site, and

 an assessment of the significance of the known and potential heritage assets, including the contribution made by setting to that significance.

5781.02.01 Page 1 November 2016 0.1 Daw Mill Colliery North Warwickshire Historic Environment Assessment

2.0 Policy context and guidance Statutory Legislation

2.1 The statutory legislation most relevant to this report comprises;  Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, 1990: In considering whether to grant planning permission for development which affects a listed building or its setting, the decision maker shall have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting (section 66). Special attention shall be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of a conservation area (section 72).

National Planning Policy

2.2 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) includes as a core planning principle (paragraph 17) to “conserve heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance, so that they can be enjoyed for their contribution to the quality of life of this and future generations”. Section 12 of the NPPF then goes on to describe provisions specifically relating to conserving and enhancing the historic environment. 2.3 Paragraph 128 advises local planning authorities to require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected by their proposal, including any contribution made by their setting. It states that “the level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance”. Guidance

2.4 Best practice guidance notes and standards relevant to the historic environment, and consulted in the production of this report comprise:

 Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Code of Conduct and Standard and Guidance documents (CIfA, 2014);

 National Planning Practice Guidance (2014),

 Historic England, Historic Environment Advice Note 2 Making Changes to Heritage Assets (HE, 2015),

 Historic England, Historic Environment Advice Note 3 The Setting of Heritage Assets (HE, 2015), and

 Historic England, Conservation Principles; Policy and Guidance for the Sustainable Management of the Historic Environment (HE, 2008).

3.0 Method Areas of Search

3.1 Data was gathered for all designated heritage assets within 500m of the development site boundary. This allowed for the identification of the heritage assets where the development could affect the contribution of the heritage asset’s setting to its significance. This study area is proportionate to the scale of the development, and was informed by a preliminary appraisal of baseline data.

3.2 Data has also been gathered for all non-designated heritage assets within the development site boundary and a 500m buffer from the site boundary. The area of search has been designed to be fully inclusive of the development site boundary to ensure that assets adjacent to the development site but with the potential to extend into are captured in baseline data. The 500m buffer is sufficient to gather data on any heritage asset where its setting could be affected by the development through intervisibility. The area of search also allows for assets with archaeological interest within or adjacent to the development site to be placed in context, and for the identification of trends that may help to predict archaeological potential within the development site. 3.3 Data on designated heritage assets has also been gathered for a 200m radius around the road junctions where improvement works are proposed. Data Sources

3.4 The following sources were consulted:

 The National Heritage List for current data on designated heritage assets;

 The Historic Environment Record (HER), maintained by Warwickshire County Council;

 The Historic Landscape Characterisation project, undertaken by Warwickshire County Council; and

 Ordnance survey historic mapping. Site Visit

3.5 The development site was visited in September and November 2016. A vantage point survey was also undertaken to determine those assets where the development could affect the contribution made by setting to the asset’s heritage significance. The survey considered the nature of the physical surroundings in which the heritage assets are experienced and the way the assets are appreciated, experienced and understood (including views, visual prominence, associative attributes and intentional intervisibility with other assets.

5781.02.01 Page 3 November 2016 0.1 Daw Mill Colliery North Warwickshire Historic Environment Assessment

Assessing Heritage Significance

3.6 The significance of a heritage asset is described in terms of the value of the heritage asset because of its heritage interest (architectural, archaeological, artistic or historic) and is also described in relation to the asset’s heritage values (evidential, historical, communal, and aesthetic).

3.7 For designated assets (Listed Buildings, Scheduled Monuments (SM), Registered Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields, World Heritage Sites and Conservation Areas), the importance is ‘high’ or ‘very high’ as these assets meet the national criteria for designation under the relevant legislation. Listed Buildings and Registered Parks and Gardens are graded (I, II* and II) according to relative significance.

3.8 The relative significance of each non-designated heritage asset within the historic environment baseline has also been determined to provide a framework for comparison. This is a professional judgement reached with regard to the relative heritage interest and value of the asset.

4.0 Baseline conditions 4.1 Time periods referenced in the text are as follows:

 Palaeolithic: 500,000 -10,000 BC  Mesolithic: 10,000 – 4,000 BC  Neolithic: 4,000 – 2,200 BC  Bronze Age: 2,600 - 800 BC  Iron Age: 800 BC – AD 43  Roman: 43 – 410  Medieval: 1066 – 1540  Post Medieval: 1540 - 1901  Modern: 1901 - present Historic Map Regression

4.2 The first edition Ordnance Survey County Series mapping (1888-1889 at 1:2,500 scale and 1889-1891 at 1:10,560 scale) shows the area of Daw Mill Colliery as agricultural land, comprising large enclosed fields typical of post-medieval enclosure. This field pattern continues throughout the early 20th century and the Ordnance Survey Plan at 1:10,560 scale dated 1955 shows a landscape that is largely unchanged from that depicted in 1889. (see figure 7) 4.3 Daw Mill Colliery is first depicted on the Ordnance Survey Plan dated 1966-1969 at 1:10,560 scale. This mapping shows Daw Mill Colliery within the southern part of development site. By 1971 the railway sidings are depicted and the colliery workings extend throughout the development site. (see figure 8)

4.4 The junction of the B4098 (Tamworth Road) and B4114 (Nuneaton Road) at Over Whitacre is depicted on the 1888-1889 1:2500 Ordnance Survey County Series mapping is shown at the same location as the modern junction. The roads are both tree-lined and the bend at the junction is more pronounced. (see figures 7 and 8) 4.5 The junction of the B4098 and B4102 at Fillongley is not present on the 1888 1:2,500 County Series mapping (see figure 9). The B4098 is shown, on a north-south alignment, with the school and smithy at the northern extent of the settlement at that time. This road and settlement pattern continues until the 1930s. The Ordnance Survey County Series 1:2500 map of 1936 shows the B4102, built to bypass the historic core of Fillongley.

4.6 The junction of the B4116, B4114 and B4098 at Furnace End is present on the 1888 1:2500 scale County Series mapping. The village is less developed at this time, with buildings to the south east of the junction but not to the north or west. The position of the junction does not change throughout the 20th century, but it is widened as housing is built on the north and west of the junction.

4.7 The layout of Church Hill, Blyth Road and High Street in Coleshill has changed very little between the first edition mapping (1884-1888 1:2500 Ordnance Survey County Series) and modern mapping. However, the buildings fronting onto Church Hill and Blyth Road have altered throughout the 20th century.

5781.02.01 Page 5 November 2016 0.1 Daw Mill Colliery North Warwickshire Historic Environment Assessment

Historic Landscape Character

4.8 Daw Mill Colliery is recorded by the Historic Landscape Characterisation project as an area of modern extraction industry. This corresponds with the historic mapping which shows the area as post medieval enclosure until the colliery is built during the late 1950s or early 1960s.

4.9 The area surrounding Daw Mill Colliery is recorded as fieldscapes, comprising large, irregular post medieval and modern fields. Designated Heritage Assets

4.10 There are eight designated heritage assets within 500m of the development site:  Grade II* Listed Church of St Leonard, Over Whitacre (Reference 309048); Built in 1766. The setting of this asset includes the village of Over Whitacre, and the surrounding landscape, including areas where the church spire is visible. This includes the development site. However, given the character of this area (former modern industrial), the site does not make any positive contribution to the heritage significance of the asset. The heritage significance of this asset is very high.

 Grade II Listed Churchyard Cross at Church of St Leonard (Reference 309047); 15th century church yard cross base. The setting of this asset, defined by the churchyard of St Leonard's church, makes a positive contribution to its significance. The development site is not within the setting of this asset. The heritage significance of this asset is high.

 Grade II Listed Slowley Green Farmhouse (Reference 309099); 17th century farmhouse with 18th century additions. The agricultural landscape that surrounds this asset and in which it is experienced makes a positive contribution to its heritage significance. The heritage significance of this asset is high. The development site is not within the setting of this asset, being beyond an area of agricultural land that defines the setting of the farmhouse and having no intervisibility with the listed building.

 Grade II Listed Gate Piers at Slowley Green Farmhouse (Reference 309100 and 309101); two 18th century gate piers at entrance to Slowley Green Farmhouse. The setting of these assets is defined by their relationship with Slowley Green Farm. The development site is not within the setting of these assets. The heritage significance of this asset is high.

 Grade II Listed Quarry House (Reference 309043); 19th century house in Tudor Gothic style. The setting of Quarry House includes the group of buildings within its curtilage (including the Icehouse), the gardens, village of Over Whitacre and adjacent fields. These elements make a positive contribution to the heritage significance of the asset. The development site is not within the setting of this asset. The heritage significance of this asset is high.

5781.02.01 Page 6 November 2016 0.1 Daw Mill Colliery North Warwickshire Historic Environment Assessment

 Grade II Listed Icehouse at Quarry House (Reference 309042); Late 18th century ice-house. The setting of the asset is defined by its relationship with Quarry House. The development site is not within the setting of this asset. The heritage significance of this asset is high.

 Grade II Listed Milepost 12m north west of Slowley Green Cottage (Reference 309098); Early 19th century, cast iron milepost on B4098 at Slowley Green. The setting of this asset includes its roadside location which makes a positive contribution to the heritage significance of the asset. The development site is not within the setting of this asset. The heritage significance of this asset is high.

 Grade II Listed Over Whitacre House (Reference 309041); Built c. 1840, small country house. The setting of the asset includes the surrounding gardens and former parkland, which extends to the B4098. This area makes a positive contribution to the heritage significance of the asset. Beyond that the surrounding agricultural land also makes a positive contribution to the setting of the asset. The development site is within the setting of this asset but does not contribute to the significance of the asset. The heritage significance of this asset is high. 4.11 There are no designated heritage assets within 200m of the junction of the B4098 (Tamworth Road) and B4114 (Nuneaton Road), although the junction is within the setting of Over Whitacre House. The modern road layout reflects the historic road pattern and makes a positive contribution to the significance of the asset. 4.12 The B4102 at Fillongley marks the northern extent of the Fillongley Conservation Area. The conservation area appraisal for Fillongley notes that "Fillongley has grown around the junctions of Ousterne and Church Lane with Coventry Road. The old buildings all cluster around these roads in tight groups all leading strongly downhill into the bottom of the hollow where the stream crosses below the Manor House". The heritage significance of the conservation area is high. 4.13 The junction of the B4098 and B4102 is partially within the conservation area. The historic village core of Fillongley, including the area around the church of St Mary and All Saints, and the scheduled castle site to the south of the village are elements that make a significant contribution to the heritage significance of the conservation area. The B4102, although partially within the conservation area, is a modern element that does not contribute the asset's heritage significance.

4.14 There are two grade II listed buildings and one scheduled monument that is also a listed building within 20m of the junction of the B4116, B4114 and B4098 at Furnace End. The Bulls Head Inn and cottage adjoining Mill Garage are both grade II listed buildings dating to the 17th century. The settings of these assets includes their relationship with the village and surrounding countryside, which makes a positive contribution to their significance. The grade II listed building are of high heritage significance.

5781.02.01 Page 7 November 2016 0.1 Daw Mill Colliery North Warwickshire Historic Environment Assessment

4.15 The River Bridge (Grade II Listed and a scheduled monument) dates originally from the 14th century, but was widened during the 17th century and again in 1925. The setting of the asset includes the B4114, and the village of Furnace End, including the road junction, which make a positive contribution to the significance of the asset. The heritage significance of the bridge is high. 4.16 Church Hill, Blyth Road and High Street in Coleshill are within the Coleshill Conservation Area. These roads make a positive contribution to the significance of the conservation area, being part of the historic street pattern and at the historic core of the town. The conservation area appraisal for Coleshill notes that "The settlement straddles the High Street and was once a stopping place for coaches on route from London to Liverpool. Many houses and shops that were once inns still retain the wide covered gateways which give access to courts behind… The focal point of the town is Church Hill which was, and will again be an enclosure formed by red brick buildings. This, combined with a gentle slope, was no doubt once an imposing approach up to the church, which is offset at the eastern end". The heritage significance of the conservation area is high. Non-designated Heritage Assets

4.17 There are 27 non-designated heritage assets within 500m of Daw Mill Colliery. These are discussed by period below: Prehistoric to Roman

4.18 There are 13 prehistoric or Roman heritage assets within the study area, all of which relate to reported findspots. Four relate to finds of Mesolithic date (MWA4954, MWA4599, MWA4586 and MWA3411). These flint scatters could be the result of flint working, but no settlement sites have been identified in this area. Seven of the heritage assets date from the Neolithic or Bronze Age and again relate to finds of worked flint (MWA6240, MWA6233, MWA6234, MWA6072, MWA4955, MWA5126 and MWA1923). Again, these finds suggest potential areas of flint working and settlement activity within the wider area, although no settlement sites have been identified within the study area. MWA19235 is recorded as an area of possible prehistoric flint working, associated with these finds. 4.19 The find of a Roman coin (MWA 6924) indicates some Roman activity in the area, although again no known Roman settlement sites are recorded within the study area. 4.20 The location of a recovered find has a low degree of evidential value and these assets therefore all have low heritage significance. Medieval 4.21 There are six assets within the study area that have been dated to the medieval period. These comprise the recorded location of medieval pottery finds (MWA152 and MWA4956), and of a medieval coin (MWA9940). The recorded find locations have a slight degree of evidential value and are of negligible heritage significance.

5781.02.01 Page 8 November 2016 0.1 Daw Mill Colliery North Warwickshire Historic Environment Assessment

4.22 Also recorded are earthworks around Slowley Green Farm that could indicate medieval settlement activity (MWA3938). At Over Whitacre the site of the medieval church of St Leonard (replaced in the 18th century by the current church, referred to above) and earthworks associated with the former extent of the medieval village are recorded (MWA6089 and MWA80). These assets have evidential value and are of moderate heritage significance. Post medieval 4.23 Eight assets in the study area are of post medieval date. These include Over Whitacre Manor House and Garden (MWA12566) and the park and gardens at Whitacre House (MWA12581). These assets have historic heritage value and are of low heritage significance. 4.24 The recorded site of a Toll House and Gate at Arley has evidential heritage value and is of low heritage significance (MWA189). 4.25 A cowshed at Slowley Green Farm (MWA12897), field barn's at Clarke's Farm (MWA20330), Daw Mill at Fillongley (MWA326), and Daw Mill Bridge and Pegs Hill Bridge (MWA19900 and MWA 19901) all have evidential and historic heritage values and are of low heritage significance. Modern 4.26 Within the development site a Memorial Garden has been established in memory of the miners who lost their lives in accidents at the Colliery in 2006 and 2007. The Memorial Garden includes half of a winding wheel that was used on the site. The Memorial Garden is not included in the Warwickshire HER, but has a degree of communal heritage value.

5781.02.01 Page 9 November 2016 0.1 Daw Mill Colliery North Warwickshire Historic Environment Assessment

5.0 Discussion and conclusions 5.1 The former use of the site as a colliery is evident, despite the removal of some of the colliery buildings. The railway sidings, hard standing and some structures are still in place. The former field pattern is no longer extant within the site boundary and the activities associated with the mining would have removed any archaeological evidence from within the site boundary. 5.2 The reported medieval coin find (MWA9940) from within the site is not accurately located, having only a general grid point as a location. This detailed entry for this asset is "Find of a half-groat from the medieval period in Fillongley near Daw Mill Pit". This description suggests that the find was made from close to the development site, but not from within it. A single medieval coin find has limited heritage interest. It attests to medieval activity within the area, but this is evident anyway from the known medieval settlements of Over Whitacre and Fillongley. Were the coin to have been located within the development site, any associated archaeological evidence which could increase the evidential value of this asset would have been destroyed when the colliery was developed during the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

5.3 In conclusion therefore, no known heritage assets are present within the development site and the development site has a negligible potential for the survival of as yet unknown heritage assets with archaeological interest. 5.4 The memorial garden has a degree of communal heritage value. This is retained within the development plans. 5.5 The development site is within the setting of three designated heritage assets (Grade II* listed Church of St Leonard, Grade II listed Slowley Green Farm, Grade II listed Over Whitacre House). However, given the lack of any attributes of the historic landscape field pattern or character within the development site, the development site does not contribute to the heritage significance of these assets. 5.6 The junction of the B4098 (Tamworth Road) and B4114 (Nuneaton Road) is within the setting of grade II listed Over Whitacre House. The road pattern reflects the historic road layout and therefore makes a positive contribution to the significance of the asset.

5.7 The junction of the B4098 and B4102 at Fillongley is partly within the Fillongley Conservation Area, but as the B4102 is a modern road built in the mid-20th century, this element of the conservation area does not contribute to its significance. 5.8 The junction of the B4116, B4114 and B4098 at Furnace End is within the setting of the grade II listed road bridge across the River Bourne, which is also a scheduled monument. 5.9 Church Hill, High Street and Blyth Road in Coleshill are within the Coleshill Conservation Area. These parts of the conservation area are part of the historic core of the town and make a positive contribution to the significance of the conservation area.
