Barbourne Works
II
Factory. 1898. Architect R.A. Briggs for W.E. Tucker and Co,
printers. English bond red brick over internal steel frame with
limestone ashlar to keystones, central bay and cornice. Hipped
clay tile roof. Planned with factory offices (for customers,
design and administration) to front of printing works. Domestic
Revival style. 3 storeys. Facade articulated in 4:3:4
fenestration, with flat keyed arches over 6/6-pane sashes
flanking central 3-window stone bay. This is designed in robust
Edwardian style: Gibbs surround and paired Tuscan columns frame
entrance, with central keyblock breaking though broken pediment
with cartouche; similar sashes above, framed on first floor by
Ionic pilasters and on second floor by Corinthian pilasters, the
stone aprons to the latter being carved with swags; segmental
pediment above garlanded cartouche framing round window in
tympanum. Dentilled cornice. Leaded casements in dormers flanking
central bay. 6-window return elevations with similar fenestration
and the same cornice wrapped around projecting stair towers to
rear. The elevations further to the rear are in similar style,
but with some alteration and mid/late C20 extension. Interior:
not inspected. Principally included for the front block, a good
example of the latest Domestic Revival and Edwardian style
applied to factory architecture. Briggs, a London architect, also
designed the chapel of 1896 at Battenhall Mount. Plan No.2550,
City of Worcester, for plan received on 22 Jan. 1898.
