Abstract: |
Nexus Heritage was commissioned in August 2010 by British Waterways to undertake archaeological mitigation works in advance of remediation at Whaley Bridge Horse Tunnel, Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire. The remediation works comprised improvements to the surface of the south ramp to the Horse Tunnel. The archaeological work included documentary research and a photographic survey prior to remediation works. This report describes the photographic survey, which took place after initial cleaning by contractors in September 2010. This revealed that the original surface of sandstone setts and cobbles survived largely intact. The ramp comprises smooth setts on the relatively shallow lower part, and random cobbles on the steeper upper part. As a result of the discovery of the largely intact surface, it was agreed that no further archaeological intervention was required. Remediation work would retain the surviving surface and seek to repair damaged and missing portions in keeping with the original character. |
