Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out a desk-based assessment on the proposed route of the University Boulevard scheme, extending from Stoke-upon-Trent to Hanley (NGR SJ 8809 4554 to SJ 8820 4706). The proposed development intends to establish an enhanced 'gateway' route from Stoke railway station to the city centre by modernizing and upgrading Station Road and College Road and establishing a new road link from Raymond Street to the Potteries Way. The study involved an assessment of cartographic and documentary sources for the proposed route. A walk-over of the site was also made. Although the archaeological potential of the proposed route is not considered to be high, the study has highlighted the presence of three Conservation Areas and nine statutory Listed buildings along the route, which might be impacted upon by the scheme. It also identified eight other sites of potential historic interest, including a row of late 19th-century workers' cottages on Raymond Street. Measures have been proposed for the investigation of these and other elements prior to, and/or during any future scheme. |
