The Anchorage is a Grade II* listed building in Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, England.[1]
It was built in 1899, to Arts and Crafts-style designs by Joseph Crouch and Edmund Butler,[1] as a house for Alfred Constantine, a manufacturing jeweller.[1][2] At the time, the area was in Staffordshire. The building is made of brick, with stone dressing and applied timber framing. The roof is tiled, with an off-centre cupola.[1]
A fire in around 1977 burnt the main hall's minstrels' gallery and a set of murals, The Hunt and Feast, by Fred Davis.[1][3] Other interior fittings include metal work by a member of the Bromsgrove Guild, possibly Benjamin Creswick, and embroidery by Mary Newill, who also made stained glass for some of the windows.[1]
The building was granted protection from unauthorised alteration through Grade II* listed designation on 8 July 1982.[1]
It was subsequently converted for use as a multi-occupation hostel by HDA Architecture.[4] As of 2015, the building was occupied by the Jesus Fellowship Church.[5]
