Abstract: |
This report consists of an archaeological desk-based assessment comprising a site visit, documentary and cartographic research, and was commissioned by Turner Townsend on behalf of Sheffield Hallam University. The area was fields prior to development in the early 19th century. The initial development consisted of houses, shops and industrial workshops. Industries represented within the site from the first half of the 19th century to the late 20th century included a whitesmith's works, a cabinet makers, a brass foundry, a saw manufactory, cutlery works, an engineering works, a wire works and a mark maker's works. The buildings were demolished between 1970 and 2006 and the site currently consists of a car park and a vacant lot. An archaeological watching brief was conducted on the vacant lot in 2006 during the removal of building foundations and basements, and recorded the remains of earlier building footings, cellars and a stone boundary wall. The extent of subsurface disturbance across the vacant lot is unclear, but it is likely that much of the underlying archaeology will have been impacted in areas where foundations and basements have been removed. There is a higher potential for the preservation of archaeological remains within the current car park site. |
