The Canal and River Trust commissioned MOLA to prepare a Heritage Statement to determine the historic significance of Old Mill Cottage in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.
The Heritage Statement informed the Trust of the building's historical significance. They drew on this assessment when developing their plans for the site.
Original documents and maps from Hertfordshire Archive were reviewed and a site visit helped to establish the complex history of the cottage and wharf. A photographic record, a floor plan and drawings of key features were made. The work undertaken by our built heritage specialists informed the client’s plans for future development on the site.
