Abstract:
Excavation at Boughton, to the east of the Roman fortress and medieval city, revealed part of an early nineteenth-century tannery in the form of timber-lined tanning pits and other structures connected by lengths of bored timber piping. Small number of earlier ditches, at least one of them probably Roman, were also recorded. Cartographic evidence suggests that in the sixteenth century the site was used to hold possible tenter frames but subsequently consisted of gardens behind the street frontage until the tannery was built. The tannery, possibly shown on a tithe map of 1848, appears to have been short-lived, being replaced by warehouses and then a candle factory by the 1850s. By 1875 the site was occupied by terraced housing, the remains of which were also recorded.
