Abstract: |
Stone was being quarried from Lee Delph from the early 1800s at least but the mid to late-19th century was characterised by a significant expansion in quarrying brought about by increased urban growth, mechanisation and improved stone-working techniques. The Sawshed at Lee Quarry, which is the subject of this report, was built between 1910 and 1930 and probably went out of use in the 1950s. Latterly it was in a ruinous condition and required urgent conservation work to prevent further deterioration. Groundwork Pennine Lancashire commissioned such work and instructed J.M. Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy of Bolton to carry out an archaeological recording programme and archaeological monitoring of the conservation work. A report of March 2010 fulfilled the first requirement and this report fulfils the second by recording the results of the excavation and conservation work which were numbered Item 7 in the previous report. This sequential numbering has been followed in this report |
