Heathfield Hall, Residential mansion in Handsworth, England
Located north of Heathfield Road, this neo-classical structure showcased stucco walls and covered approximately 20 hectares of landscaped grounds.
Built between 1787 and 1790 for inventor James Watt, the mansion remained standing until its demolition in 1927 to make way for residential developments.
James Watt's private garret workshop within the house contained over 8,300 objects related to his engineering innovations and industrial developments.
The original site of Heathfield Hall now forms part of West Drive and North Drive in the Handsworth district of Birmingham.
The Science Museum in London maintains an exact reconstruction of Watt's workshop, including original furniture, windows, doors, and floorboards from Heathfield Hall.
