Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment identified that the area was in agricultural use as part of Sheffield's Town Field during the medieval and early post-medieval periods, prior to development in the 1770s. The site's development comprised domestic, retail and industrial properties and was thus typical of late 18th-/early 19th-century urbanisation in Sheffield. The construction of the 18th- and 19th-century buildings is likely to have impacted on any earlier archaeological deposits. The site was cleared of buildings between 1934 and 1948 and has remained largely undeveloped, with the exception of landscaped areas, a 50m extension of Edward Street and the construction of a basketball court. The extent to which these works impacted on sub-surface archaeological deposits associated with the 18th- and 19th-century features is unclear. The potential for the survival of sub-surface archaeological deposits is considered to be good. |
