The Endwood is a disusedgrade II listedpublic house on Hamstead Road, in theHandsworth Wood district ofBirmingham, England.[1][2]
The three-storey building was constructed as a private residence,Church Hill House, in 1820,[1] when Handsworth Wood was part ofStaffordshire. It has astucco finish, a slate roof and porch withdoric columns.[2]
Around the 1880s, it was occupied by the Muntz family,[1]George Frederic Muntz' second son William Henry Muntz having married Alice Parker, the second daughter of its occupant, George Parker, in 1846.[3]
It subsequently became a hotel, known as theHill House Hotel and then theEndwood Hotel,[4] before being purchased in 1937 by the brewers Butlers ofWolverhampton, who used it as a pub.[4] That company, and thus the Endwood, was acquired byMitchells & Butlers in 1960.[5]
It was given listed building status in July 1982.[2]
A 2001 proposal to convert the building into flats was dismissed.[6] In June 2015, aplanning application was submitted toBirmingham City Council, for use of the building as an education centre.[1][needs update]
The building sits immediately opposite the site of the defunctHandsworth Wood railway station (1896–1941), and the railway line passes beneath the house in a short tunnel.St Mary's Church (Norman, rebuilt 1820) andHandsworth Park (1880s) are also nearby to the south, as is theA4040 road to the north.
