A Level 1 (basic visual) record, as set out in Understanding Historic Buildings: a guide to good recording practice (Historic England 2016) was undertaken for Easemore House prior to demolition. A site visit was made on the 20th February 2026 when the principal exterior elevations were photographed. Formal detailed historical research was not within the remit of this report. Provision was made for sufficient initial documentary research in order to enable the overall research aims to be realised but these were not extensive and were limited to existing secondary material. Easemore House was constructed between 1886 and 1904. It was originally built as an artillery station for the Worcestershire Yeomanry (3rd Worcester Battery, 2nd South Midland Brigade RFA) and the Redditch Territorial Unit during the early part of the 20th century (as shown on figure 2, the Ordnance Survey 25" map of 1904). During World War II the hall was used for recruiting to the 267th (Worcester) Battery Royal Artillery. More recently it has been used for a variety of purposes, including a dance studio. Opportunities for recording the frontal elevation were limited due to the presence of a close hoarding and the fact that demolition had already commenced. The interior was in the process of being stripped out at the time of recording and access to the upper floors and elements of the ground floor was restricted due to the presence of asbestos.
