1 Brentford Waterfront Maststerplan Heritage

1.0 Introduction1.1 This Report

This report has been produced collaboratively by Maccreanor Lavington Architects, AHMM and Glenn Howells architects as part of the comprehensive baseline analysis for the Brentford Waterside masterplan 2011.

The document is composed of three parts:

1 A summary of the history and morphology of the site2 A summary of previous reports and studies into the built heritage of the site of which there are three documents in particular:

The English Heritage report from November 2000 —‘Proposed Conservation area designation: Supporting State-ment – River Brent and Grand Union Canal, Brentford, London Borough of Hounslow’

The local community report from November 2007 —‘Brentford High Street: The Community Vision’

The Jeffery W. George and Associates report of —September 2009 ‘Brentford: South of High Street – Updated Architectural Assessment of Buildings of Architectural and/or Historical Interest, together with other buildings of interest for potential conservation’

3 An assessment of all the existing structures and spaces on the site

The site in the context of West London

The site in the context of Brentford

Charles Dickens describing the area in Martin Chuzzlewit:

“... You groped your way for an hour through lanes and byways, and courtyards, and passages; and you never once emerged upon anything that might reasonably be called a street.”


2.0 Historical summary2.1 Morphology

English Heritage 2000 report into the area provides an excel-lent brief summary to the site:

“Brentford is unusual as it has been continually inhabited since pre-roman times and its development encompassess many facets of industrial archaeology, from the early river borne transport of local produce and simple water related industry, through to its heyday as a booming industrial town. Here extreme poverty existed in the mist of splendid civic buildings; the peaceful River Brent gave way to the gritty working wharves and industries of the GWR railway and dock. These features, which were so important in shaping the history and development of industry and transport across the country as a whole, and despite years of neglect and economic decline, are still evident today.”

1865Town orientated around the High street with working ‘yards’ linking the High Street to the canal. The railway had just re-cently arrived. Key changes:- Near continuous High street frontage with semi-public yards extending back to the water;- market square is well defined on all sides;- wier on dock road controls tidal river;- GWR terminus and dock by Isambard Kingdom Brunel;- church is fully integrated into the High Street frontage.

1895The town begins to slowely re-orientate itself from the canal to the railway terminus. Key changes:- Expansion of the railway;- introduction of a street between the high Street and St Pauls church.

4

1935Town is now much more focused on the railway as the primary line of communication. Key changes: - Errosion of the high street frontage;- additional permeability through to the waterside created at Catherine Wheel yard (becomes road);- changes to the wier structure to extend the tidal zone;- further expansion to the railway.

1961Commerce and industry shifts again, this time back towards the High Street as motor vehicles become the primary form of communication. Key changes:- Dramatic redevelopment of the Northern part of the High street;- introdcution of Brent way;- redevelopment of the Southern side of the High Street changes the structure of perpendicular routes to slice through the the old yards.

2010Town completes its shift from railway to carriageway. Key changes:- GWR railway depot and dock removed and replaced with social housing block;- morisons supermarket and car park removes the road be-tween High Street and St Pauls church;- further erosion of the High Street and widening of the car-riageway at the junction;- building between vicarage and other historic high street build-ing replaced with surface car park;- new residential development opposite church.

4.0 Detailed study of the sites4.1 Methodology

The methodology used for measuring the value of existing buildings is a process designed to accomodate the views of all previous documents and the design teams own analysis. The site is split into Yards and Buildings with the buildings grouped into logical areas.

Yards are measured with three values:- quality of what is left- viability of re-establishing route- value of permeability

Buildings are measured with the following four values:- potential for re-usestate of repaircharacter- efficiency of land use

Each value is given a rating of 1-4 and the total gives an overall value which relates to a four tier grading system.

4.0 Detailed study of the sites4.4 The Yards - detail

1- Church Alley

2 - Clitherow’s Yard

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 2 Short existing route that links the church entrance to the High Street. Existing route is in a reasonable condition. Very different existing character due to the lack of built defini-tion to the Eastern sideVIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 4 Very viableVALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 2 Required for access to church but route offers no real benefit to the wider site permeability or connectivity

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 0 Extremely poor. Line of existing route has been completely eroded through more recent development of the site. Partially car park / field / Brent wayVIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 2 Reasonably viable to re-establish a connection here at a certain point however the exact alignment is likely to prove difficultVALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 3 This would be a positive connection between the High street and the water and wider street network

16

3 - McIlroy’s Yard

4 - Boar’s Head Yard

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 1 Poor. The route of Brent way seems to correspond in some ways with the old yard boundaries but its character has been completely eroded.VIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 0 It would involve demolishing a historic High street building which would have a negative consequenceVALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 3 The connection to the High Street would create a continu-ous connection from the North side of the High street into the site

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 2 Reasonable. The existing connection with the High street exists and is quite positive alongside the Church. Some yard exists in site area D although the introduction of Brent Way eroded much of the character.VIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 3 Very viableVALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 4 Important route from the High Street through the site to the water.



5 - Bradshaw’s Yard

6 - Plough Yard

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 2 Connection with the High street exists as a passageway through the shops however its character is completely changed. Brent way further erodes the historic charac-ter and line of the yard however within site E the yards boundaries are reasonably intact. The connection with the water still existsVIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 3 Very viable. Quality will depend on the demolition of the High street shopsVALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 4 Very valuable link between the waterfront, the High Street, Market Square and further Northern streets linking with the Butts.

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 2 Northern section and connection with High street has been lost, introduction of Brent way has further eroded character. Southern section from Brent Way to the water-front is intact and offers an interesting quite unique special quality.VIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 2 Reasonably viable but would involve demolition of existing buildings on the High street and would need to be tested against the site levels.VALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 3 Reasonably valuable connection between the High Street and the water could be established

18

7 - Bradbury’s Yard

8 - Mr Jullion’s Yard

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 1 Short middle section exists. Northern connection with High Street has been built on and the introduction of Brent Way has removed the Southern sectionVIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 1 Difficult to achieve the high Street connection due to the existing building of reasonable historic character. Potential to exist in parts as a courtyard rather than public route.VALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 3 Re-establishing the route would offer some value in terms of connectivity to the waterfront

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 1 Small yard with little significance in terms of wider charac-terVIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 2 Reasonably viable that it could continue to exist as a small courtyardVALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 1 Limited value as a connection. Potentially more value as a small courtyard.



9 - Catherine Wheel Yard

10 - Still Yard

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 3 Route exists although character has been eroded some-what by new building lines and the introduction of Brent way. Quality is higher to the South with the connection to the water.VIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 4 Currently exists and should be retained VALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 4 Valuable connection that links the High street through the site to the waterfront and an important node of bridge connections

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 3 Building line and buildings retained so existing character is intact. Quality of surface is poor.VIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 4 Very viable as route currently exists. VALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 3 Very valuable permeability linking directly with Half Acre to the North across the High Street and potentially to an improved waterfront.

20

11 - Dock Road

12 - Montgomery Wharf Alley

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 4 Extremely high quality. The existing route, its character and its materiality are in tact.VIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 4 Exists and should be retainedVALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 4 Highly valuable as a connection beyond the site to the South

QUALITY OF WHAT IS LEFT: 1 The connection continues to exist however the construc-tion of a brick barbed wire wall along the Eastern edge of he route seriously damages its character.VIABILITY OF RE-ESTABLISHING ROUTE: 4 Already exists and would be easy to retainVALUE OF PERMEABILITY: 1 A connection to the waterfront here is important however the poor quality boundary which is beyond the control of the masterplan means shifting the location of this con-nection could have more value than retention in its exact location

4.0 Detailed study of the sites4.5 Site A - detail

POTENTIAL FOR RE-USE: 4 Good potential for re-use with a public function or a café/restaurant.STATE OF REPAIR: 4 Jeffery W George report states that it is in a good general state of repair with minor graffiti damage. CHARACTER: 3 Extremely important grade 11* listed building.EFFICIENCY OF LAND USE: 2 Essentially one built storey but there is potential to incor-porate it into a more efficient urban block.

POTENTIAL FOR RE-USE: 4 Good potential for re-use and extension as A2, A3, C3 or potential B1 use.STATE OF REPAIR: 4 Excellent state of repair. CHARACTER: 3 Historic building in good condition of some value particu-larly in the context of St Lawrences churchEFFICIENCY OF LAND USE: 2 Reasonably efficient at two storeys with good entrance location and potential to be incorporated into a denser urban block.

24

A03 - Wood Yard

POTENTIAL FOR RE-USE: 0 Very difficult conversion unless incorporated into some form of public space.STATE OF REPAIR: 1 Very poor state of repair. Structure looks dangerous.CHARACTER: 2 Historic structure so some value but neither EH, the local community or the Jeffery report mention it.EFFICIENCY OF LAND USE: 0 Extremely poor as removes the ability to develop a plot with good potential for development

Its long frontage to the High street creates a mo-notonous elevation that offers little to the character of the High street. The backs are cluttered and unappealing.EFFICIENCY OF LAND USE: 2 Reasonable. Three stories with step back at upper levels. Deep ground floor plan deals with level the change through the section but the one stories of service space to Brent way could be much more efficient. Access to the currently exposed backs creates difficulty incorporating into a block structure.

POTENTIAL FOR RE-USE: 2 Excellent potential for mixed uses as demonstrated by its current occupation.STATE OF REPAIR: 3 Is currently occupied and looks to be in a good condition.CHARACTER: 1 Reasonable.

D06 - 19 Boar’s Head yard

POTENTIAL FOR RE-USE: 2 Reasonable potential for re-use but there would be dif-ficultly in bringing up to contemporary building legislation standards for anything other than light industrial.

J02 - Wilson + Kyle West building

POTENTIAL FOR RE-USE: 2/0 High street section has a reasonable potential for re-use with relevant programmes, the one storey warehouse to the rear would be very prob-lematic to re-use.STATE OF REPAIR: 2/1 High street frontage looks in a rea-sonable state of repair however rear section is very poor.CHARACTER: 2/2 Character: 3 Historically interesting building which adds to the character of the area. Mixed views in the community and not given any significance in the Jeffery report.EFFICIENCY OF LAND USE: 2/1 Frontage to High Street offers good efficiencies however one storey warehouse to the rear significantly reduces the development potential of the site.

POTENTIAL FOR RE-USE: 3 Good potential for re-use. Large ground floor area and storey height would lend itself to an interest commercial conversion. Potential for upper floor residential uses would need to be explored however it could prove prohibitively expensive to bring the building up to contemporary stand-ards.STATE OF REPAIR: 1 Looks to be in quite a poor state of repair.CHARACTER: 3 Historically interesting building which adds significantly to the character of the area. Mixed views in the community and not given any significance in the Jeffery report.EFFICIENCY OF LAND USE: 2 Reasonably efficient land use due to three stories and tall storey heights. Good relationship with the High street and existing yard.
