Summary Site History at 09.06.2010

Summary Site History

The site appears to be part of the 93 acres given to the Warden and Society of the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield by Sir Edmund Cradock-Hartopp of Clifton of Four Oaks Hall in November 1827. [1]

Unlike the rest of this land, which had become available for residential development from the early 1860s, the site was used for the construction of the Midland Railway Company's Sutton Park Line and Station between 1875 and 1879. The natural slope of the site was levelled as part of the construction works. [2]

The new Sutton Park Line made cheap coal available to the residents of Sutton Coldfield, and it appears that the site was primarily designed for the storage and distribution of coal. The existing 'Goods Shed' was equipped with two 30cwt cranes to lift coal from the wagons. An almost identical building was constructed by the Midland Railway in about 1865 at Bakewell, Derbyshire. The 'Goods Shed' is associated with the Billson family coal merchants [3], who had moved to Sutton Coldfield from Aston on the opening of the Sutton Park Line in 1879 and were still active on the site until at least 1912.

The 'Goods Shed' is subsequently associated with C. H. Crees and Sons, builders merchants, now located at Green Lane, Aldridge. Other families and trades identified with later buildings no longer on site but recorded on the various OS maps include: Bassett & Sons, Shell Mex depot, Pratts depot, G H Dykes coal office, and Davenport & Co.. [4]

Between July and October 1942, the 'Goods Shed' was used by 640th US Army Postal Unit. The US military 'mail distribution scheme' was then "moved 50 yards to a building being completed especially for our purposes. ... The new building containing 52,000 square feet of floor space... A double railroad sidetrack parallels the 380 foot post office platform." [5]

By the end of World War 2, the 1st US BPO/APO 640 installation comprised "75 buildings, widely scattered" [5] including the airports at Fradley and Castle Bromwich, New Street Station in Birmingham, the V-Mail Section in London (from early 1944), and the various barracks, billets, and messing arrangements established in the wider Sutton Coldfield area. [6]

In 1947, the British Army Postal Services (Home Postal Centre RE) moved from Nottingham into the vacated US 1st BPO in Sutton Coldfield. [7]

From 1948, the site was used by the General Post Office for foreign postal services. In August 1957, the GPO Sutton Park Station depot processed the First Day Covers posted to mark the 9th Scout Jubilee Jamboree held in the neighbouring Sutton Park to celebrate the centenary of Lord Baden Powell's birth. This was the first time the Post Office produced special rolls of stamps designed to service first day covers automatically. [8]

For the period from the mid-1990s to the opening of the Heathrow Worldwide Distribution Centre (HWDC) in November 2003, the site was known as 'Birmingham Z' and handled all surface mail within the national network of seven 'Offices of Exchange' (OEs) dealing with export mail. [9]


Notes:

1. This land included "two closes of land and the greater part of the third close of land (called 'The Moors') adjoining Sutton Park and to the New Forge Pool." In exchange, the Warden and Society of the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield gave Cradock-Hartopp 63 acres and 31 perches of Sutton Park ("a slip of land adjoining Four Oaks Park and the greater part of Lady Wood and land adjoining") to allow the then owner of Four Oaks Hall Estate "to create a more pleasing oval shape to his deer park". The exchange also obliged Cradock-Hartopp, at a cost of £1000.00, to build a new entrance to the Park (the present Town Gate) and a new road (Park Road) linking the town to Sutton Park. Reference Birmingham City Archives MS 3069/Acc1935-063/443143, 16 November, 1827.

The site was previously in the ownership of Wriothesley Digby of Meriden [ref. Deeds of Four Oaks Hall Estate 1751-1831, Birmingham City Archives MS3069/Acc1935-063/443140] via the Will of Sir Lister Holte, 5th Bt, on his death in 1770 [ref. Birmingham City Archives MS 3369/Acc 1961-9/39a&b 1758-1769].

2. Following an earlier investigation in 1865 ("abandoned due to monetary pressure"), Sutton Coldfield Corporation appointed a Railway Committee in January 1872, and the Act of Parliament (35 & 36 Vict.) was passed later the same year. The line was staked out in May 1873, construction began in the Spring of 1875, and the 'Sutton Park Line' finally opened for business on the 1st July 1879. The Railway Company paid £6,500 for the 2-mile long strip of land across Sutton Park, and the cost of the construction of the 8-mile line rose from an estimate of £175,000 to over £400,000. The contractor was the "highly respected" railway engineer Joseph Firbank.

3. Kelly's Directory 1896: "Billson Jn. Park Station (Midland Ry) depot", listed under 'Coal & Coke Merchants'.

4. There are remains of the silos used for materials storage/distribution in the small wooded area to the east of the site. It is not known if these are related to coal or building supplies.

5. Major Benjamin F. Hartl: 'History of First Base Post Office', October 1944.

6. In all, about 1000 different APOs (Army Post Offices) were in use during the period between 1941 and the end of 1945.

7. Royal Engineers Museum http://www.remuseum.org.uk/specialism/rem_spec_pcsww2.htm (09.06.2010).

8. Two machines developed by Vacuumatic Ltd of Harwich were hand-fed the covers which were cancelled with the special postmark slogan “Jubilee Jamboree – Sutton Coldfield” and posted from the Jamboree Camp Post Office. This was the Post Office's first foray "into the highly lucrative FDC market".

1957 World Scout Jubilee Jamboree Commemorative Stamps #2

It was not until 1st August 1957 that the second set of commemorative stamps were issued during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. This was four years after the previous coronation set, and were issued to commemorate the World Scout Jubilee Jamboree. The Jamboree was held in Sutton Park, and was one of the biggest events ever held in Sutton Coldfield and involved scouts from 85 countries converging on the park to celebrate 50 years of scouting and the centenary of Lord Baden Powell’s birth.

The event was attended by both the Queen and the Prime minister of the time, Harold Macmillan. Because it was an international event hosted by Britain, it was deemed worthy enough to issue a set of commemorative stamps. Once again they followed the pattern of postal rate colours, being as they were 2 1/2d Red (Scout hitch and Rolling hitch), 4d Blue (“Scouts coming to Britain.”) and 1s 3d Green (Globe with Compass.).

This was an interesting issue because special rolls of stamps were produced, designed to service first day covers automatically. They were produced from different cylinders and printed on continuous reels of paper. The cylinders bore 126 impressions in 21 rows of six. The cylinders were numbered J1 for the 2 1/2d and 4d and J2 for the 1s 3d. (Technical details quoted from Gibbons GB Specialised catalogue Vol 3.) The reels were cut so as to provide single rolls of 4800 stamps, numbered 1-6. Interestingly, because of the speedy printing methods, numerous minor flaws have been reported on these stamps.

These rolls were available for sale on request at the London Chief Office, presumably for stamp dealers and other business individuals wishing to cash in on the Jubilee celebrations. This was the first time that coil stamps were available in an intact form, and drew much interest from stamp collectors wishing to add something unique to their collection. At the time many people collected stamps and mainstream collectors would buy whole sheets of stamps for their collection. In modern times this would cost a small fortune, but when you consider that the jubilee issue was the first series of commemorative stamps released for over 4 years, it does seem reasonable!

Official records do show that some collectors did buy the roll of 4800 stamps, although many collectors did not find it reasonable due to the huge cost. Technically the stamps would always be useable or exchangeable at post offices, so a few people brought them as an investment. Nobody could be sure if they would increase much in value, but they could guarantee that they will never decrease in value.

The Post Office finally relented to the feedback they were getting from philatelic customers and rolls of 4800 were rewound into smaller rolls of 480 stamps for the 2 1/2d and 4d, and rolls of 240 for the 1s3d.

1957 World Scout Jubilee Jamboree Commemorative Stamps

"In early 1955, the Boy Scout Association sent a request for a stamp issue in connection with the Jamboree, and it was rejected in July 1955.

A second request was approved in spring 1956, and on 13 June 1956 it was announced in the House of Commons that three stamps would be issued.

Invitations were sent to nominated artists and printing firms to submit stamp designs, and 26 designs were received in October 1956. Royal approval was received for the final designs on 30 March 1957. The stamps were printed by Harrison & Sons, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, and they were put on sale from 1 August 1957."

Sense of Place # 2

"Creating a sense of place for a new or reinvigorated development is something constantly strived after, and for good reasons. The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment's (CABE) 2007 report, ‘A Sense Of Place’ states that people value well-designed places and they like homes in developments with character that create a sense of place, but signals that a high proportion of people living on new developments feel these developments lack just that. People want to live in or visit places that are unique, they want places that offer up surprises and possibilities.

One way of achieving this is finding ways to make connections between the past, present and future of a place in flux, to hold these often seemingly contradictory elements in tension, and by doing so to strengthen each. An area's physical, social, and cultural heritage, its ecology, and its future, offer rich seams which can be explored and embedded into the fabric and collective memory of a development. Projects which aim to do this can enable communities and developers to find and honour the uniqueness of a place. They help create – or we might prefer to see it as uncovering and articulating – a ‘sense of place’.

The fear and suspicion surrounding new developments is often the fear of the past being obliterated and a soulless development being plonked down in its place, the fear that developers will come in and treat a place as a blank canvas. Nowhere is a blank canvas, and the complexity and joy of living in a city is created by these layers of time, marked by different styles; the endless possibilities for discovering new things."
http://www.urbanwords.org.uk/aplaceforwords/sense-of-place.shtml

Sense of Place

"Sense of place can be created or reinforced by using historical references as well as materials and detailing that respond to the local vernacular. Street names, signs, landscaping, on-site interpretation, maintenance of ancient boundaries – all of these can be used to keep memories alive, stress the individuality of the development and foster a sense of place. To realise these possibilities clients, their design team, archaeologists and conservation officers need to work together from the start of the design process, and other regulators should be drawn in to provide a ‘development team’ approach. When this is done well, tenants gain a sense of contact with their environment, and by understanding, valuing and engaging with it, to help shape a strong, inclusive and vibrant community."

Temporalising the Landscape

"...to borrow Inglis's [1] words again, 'a landscape is the most solid appearance in which a history can declare itself.' Thanks to their solidity, features of the landscape remain available for inspection long after the movement that gave rise to them has ceased. If, as Mead argued [2], every object is to be regarded as a 'collapsed act', then the landscape as a whole must likewise be understood as the taskscape in its embodied form: a pattern of activities 'collapsed' into an array of features."

Jamboree Ephemera

Woodland history

One map of the site shows allotments in the wooded area to the east of the site, maybe as part of the war effort.

The 1914 OS has scrub and small trees marked in the area, and the 1938 onwards OS maps have enclosures marked on the south side of the entrance area. There are certainly various records of commercial (i.e. Shell Mex) compounds here (and there is also evidence of these on the ground in the form of low walls, etc.). This would support the more mature line of trees to the northern edge.

Catch Up

The more immediate US Army sites are linked physically (or permanently) whilst the more distant (and overseas) connections are celebrated through something more temporary. This is where Mail Art can play its part by bringing many of these places back in to contact. The contemporary format, etc. of the work will highlight the passing of time since WW2.

One thing that the 'summary history' underlines is the complexity of the operation. Also its responsive nature to major WW2 events, movements of personnel and the theatre of war triggering its increasing expansion.

The extent of the original site and its pre-existing buildings express, in architectural and operational terms, the scale of the war as originally envisaged. The pre-1942 site maps the perceived scale of WW2 as the US initially saw it. Each additional building is triggered by an historic military operation, the equation being, for example, Normandy = 4 Romney Huts, and so on.

On the idea of enclosures and parcelling. Documents enclosed, land enclosed. Parcels of land for sale, etc.. Want to look at the structure of envelopes too, how they fold and enclose.

By way of clarification, Romney Huts and Quonset Huts refer to the same buildings in another example of two nations divided by a common language, see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissen_hut
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quonset_hut

Site Palimpsest

Yes, that sense of vertical layering is important. It will help cohere and enrich the design. There's something about how envelopes get layered with various markings indicating their passage through different places at different moments in time, so that, at the point of delivery, there has been a considerable process of additions/'adding to' the original cover (see attached). And how by revealing the lower layers of the site palimpsest (via 'taking away') we are doing the same sort of thing in reverse.

There's also something about how these postal markings create odd juxtapositions, record different kinds of 'touch', and undermine the sender's carefully considered original composition/positioning of written address and licked stamp against the rectangle of the envelope. How the underlying field boundaries, railway and military buildings, etc. are partially revealed or acknowledged in the future site similarly disrupts the original design intent and agenda.

Summary Site History

The site seems to be part of the 93 acres 3 roods and 36 perches of land given in November 1827 to the Warden and Society of the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield by Sir Edmund Cradock-Hartopp of Clifton. This land included " 'two closes of land and the greater part of the third close of land (called 'The Moors') adjoining Sutton Park and to the New Forge Pool."

In exchange, the Warden and Society of the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield gave Cradock-Hartopp 63 acres and 31 perches of Sutton Park ("a slip of land adjoining Four Oaks Park and the greater part of Lady Wood and land adjoining") to allow the then owner of Four Oaks Hall Estate "to create a more pleasing oval shape to his deer park".

The exchange also obliged Cradock-Hartopp, at a cost of £1000.00, to build a new entrance to the Park (the present Town Gate) and a new road (Park Road) linking the town to Sutton Park.

Sir Edmund Cradock-Hartopp had purchased Four Oaks Hall in 1792. When the Pudsey Estates (including nearby Langley Hall) were divided on the death of Henry Pudsey in 1686, his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Henry Folliott, 1st Baron Folliott of Ballyshannon, exercised their right granted in the Royal Charter of Sutton Coldfield to enclose up to 60 acres of Common land for a new house. Four Oaks Hall was designed by the architect and sculptor Sir William Wilson (a student of Sir Christopher Wren), who also built the 'Old Art School' building (next to Bishop Vesey's Grammar School) for himself and his new wife, Jane, the widow of aforementioned Henry Pudsey.

Henry Folliott died in 1716, and his widow, Elizabeth, continued to live at Four Oaks Hall until 1744. In 1751, the Hall was sold to Simon Luttrell (later Baron Luttrell of Luttrells Town and Earl of Carhampton) in 1751, and he rebuilt the Hall in the Palladian style. Four Oaks Hall was then sold in 1778 to the Reverend Thomas Gresley, who sold it to Hugh Bateman in 1785, who in turn sold it to Edmund Cradock-Hartopp in 1792.

Having at one point been in the ownership of the Pudsey family, the site is associated with a number of other important local families going back to the 13th century. These include:

the de Beresfords of Wishaw
Jesson of Langley Hall and Wishaw
Holte of Aston
Bracebridge of Atherstone, and
Digby of Meriden.

Following an earlier investigation in 1865 ("abandoned due to monetary pressure"), Sutton Coldfield Corporation appointed a Railway Committee in January 1872, and the Act of Parliament (35 & 36 Vict.) was passed later the same year. The line was staked out in May 1873, construction began in the Spring of 1875, and the 'Sutton Park Line' finally opened for business on the 1st July 1879. The contractor was Joseph Firbank, and the engineer for the Wolverhampton, Walsall and Midland Junction Railway was John Addison.

Not sure where Aragon House is but Davies doesn't seem to make it into the census returns. Another question mark... for somebody else this time.

Archive Update

Summary observations on material at Stafford, Walsall and Sutton Coldfield.

The Tudor Hill estate was transferred to the W&S as part of the Hartopp exchange in 1827 but it wasn't until 1864 that the demand for high-status housing in Sutton Coldfield warranted fuller development.

Nearby Anchorage estate was laid out and advertised for sale in July 1870 - 26 building lots - the owner was RH Sadler and a minimum value of £500 per plot was a condition of development. No industry allowed. Four houses were built prior to a delay of 16 years in which time the Sutton Park Line was built. Because the Anchorage estate was already in existence, the Railway Company had to provide a bridge.

There is a little 'unofficial' footpath through from the top of Richmond Road and down the bank to the entrance to the sorting office.

Have had a further play around with the Lavender House plan and think that there is only one possible area for it and that is one of the two or three plots around the house named 'Drumcrieff' on the 1914 OS map. The angles of the plots on the Lavender plan preclude a lot of potential sites.

Have contacted the Scout Association to try and find a copy of the boarding passes from the 1957 Jamboree and am still trying to uncover the reason for 'Birmingham Z' being applied to the site or the railway spur.

Have some good photos of various documents re. the railway line through the Park including the proposed line marked on an OS map and more detailed surveys with sections... "datum line 250 feet below the underside of girders where intersecting the face of the Northern Abutment of the Turnpike Road over Bridge from Walsall to Bloxwich".

A few new names as landowners appear in the proposed railway line reference book. Halford Parker farmed fields 24,25,26, and 31 - this was mainly ex Samuel Smith land held in trust at the coming of the railway. Williams Bach and Barker leased plots 27 to 30, 32 to 40 with a host of occupiers listed. 'Carriage Road' 33 (i.e. today's Richmond Road) was owned by Thomas Storer Eddowes, Warden and Sutton Coldfield Gas Company. Mr Eddowes went on to be a supporter of the railway through the Park and it is his firm's archive that contains the lovely, crumbly old papers. Other 'carriage roads' were owned by Warden & Society (29 and 32), RH Sadler (48) and Thomas Hayward (49).

Several of these names crop up as supporters of the railway.

In Kelly's Directory for Warwickshire, the only other trade listed in 1892 and 1896 in and around Tudor Hil apart from Billson is Henry Duncalfe, a surgeon at Aragon House.

Have found what looks like somebody's Masters thesis that was a precursor to the Collins' book (QSH 75.8). Angela Andrews in 1992 wrote 'Over Here: A study of the stationing of American troops in Sutton Coldfield for the purposes of sorting mail for their forces throughout the European theatre of war 1942 - 1945'.

Collins is listed in the acknowledgements and is mentioned as a local author compiling a book on the theme. A lot of the information is in the Collins' book as are many of the photos. Angela Andrews mentions one source as a Mr Brock of the 'Army Postal Workers Association'. One or two useful photos are credited to M. Rothert widow of Eugene.

In BCOL Q 385.0942496MID there is an excellent account of the toing and froings to get the railway line built. Apparently an initial investigation was made in 1865 but "abandoned due to monetary pressure". The ball really started rolling with a meeting of Sutton Coldfield Corporation on 8th January 1872. On the 12th January opposers of the railway included Mr Charles Beaton and Rev WKR Bedford who presented a petition signed by 194 individuals. On the 18th the Corporation appointed a Railway Committee made up of Warden Eddowes, Rev EH Kittoe, Dr G Bodington, Mr J Wiggan and Dr A Johnson, but only Kittoe and Johnson were against the railway.

There followed lots of ill-feeling - letter writing in the Birmingham Gazettte, accusations of skulduggery, and the breaking up of meetings by 'rowdy' groups. A meeting against the railway on 5th April 1872 heard the Rev. Crosskey state that he would as soon see a railway "through Lichfield Cathedral as through the Park". A petition was adopted and signed by J. Sadler, Mayor of Birmingham, for presentation to Houses of Parliament. Also on the 5th, Dr Bodington chaired a 150-strong meeting in support of the railway.

An engineer called Wilson was appointed by the 'No' camp to survey an alternative route to the north of the Park but to no avail. Apparently Joseph Chamberlain was signed-up to the 'No' cause. By the 19th June the Bill had passed it's second reading and then went to the House of Lords Committee (Lord Camoys in the chair, Earl Fortesque, Viscounts Hereford and Gough and Lords Aranmore and Brown).

Promoters of the line were represented by (among others) Messers Denison, Sergeant, Sargood and Round. Inhabitants of Sutton Coldfield were represented by Mr Rodwell and the Hon. Chandos-Leigh. The hearing lasted five days but from the off seemed in favour of the railway. The argument for the railway was based mainly on economics (access to Black Country industries, with many industrialists in favour of the railway), and the argument against was mainly 'environmental'. The resident engineer John Addison made some very poor arguments, but even so by the 26th June the hearing was over.

In May 1873 the exact line of the route was staked-out, construction began in the Spring of 1875, and the railway finally opened in 1879.

Sutton Coldfield Archives

Sutton Coldfield Library has four publications on Francis J. Field, although there might be a folder full of stuff in one of the filing cabinets. The Library has Aero Field Handbooks Nos 3, 4, 7 and 15.

The material is rather haphazard and some of the stuff is catalogued in people's heads and kept in a box on top of a cupboard. This box includes some lovely sketch survey maps of the rail route on fast disintegrating tracing paper. Have photos of some of the key documents.

The Lavender house caused more trouble. Can't find anything on Richmond Road or Tudor Hill that matches the drawing from Walsall archives, so:

a) it was never built;

b) it was built but has been knocked down (war damage?); or

c) it has been altered significantly.

Still think the key might be the dumb well on the original drawing matching the shape on the 1887 OS map.

Been trying to find architects drawings for Sutton Park station, but have had no luck. Apparently it was built to standard MR design so this supports the the thinking on the standardised Goods Shed. A lot of the drawings of rail stations are from the Cattell collection.

Have done another field map overlay and am still having trouble matching things up accurately - a quirk of surveys done at different periods probably. The attached uses magenta for c.1800 and cyan for c.1870. The field numbers refer to the plots affected by the proposed rail line and I have the ownership details for these. The barn is shown on both surveys and is perhaps the reason for the (dumb) well on the OS map.

Lavender in the census?

Matthew Overton + wife Elizabeth + son Harry are living in the Lavender-designed house for both the 1881 and 1891 Census Returns. Matthew dies in 1896, and widow and son move to Clifton Road, so it's not easy to identify the house in the 1901 Census when it would have been numbered (probably!).

In the 1891 Census, 'Sutton Park Station Midland Railway' is listed (but obviously not inhabited!) between Anchorage Road and Tudor Hill. The Census sequence seems to go down Tudor Hill from the station, listing the house + owner as:

1891
[Anchorage Road begins]
[Sutton Park Station]
[Tudor Hill ends]
// Duncalfe
// Titley
// Brokes
// Cadbury
// Graves
// Bullows
// Butler
// OVERTON
// Shannon
// Rhodes
// Baker
// Morris
// Chesterton
// Wilson
// Coley
// Curtis
// Eddowes
// Arbuthnot
// Morrington
[Tudor Hill begins]
[Springfield Place ends]

For the 1881 Census, it sequence is reversed, i.e. goes up the hill:
[Sutton Park begins]
[Tudor Hill ends]
// Sitley
/ uninhabited
// Curtis
// Cartwright
// OVERTON
// Duncalfe
// Morris
// Arundale
// Turnpenny
// Tisdale
// Eddowes
// Reeves
// Probert
["M. Railway St"]
[Sutton Park Lodge]
[Four Oaks Park]
[Four Oaks Hall]

No, can't match these together and won't be able to link to the 1901 Census.
