Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment was undertaken on the predicted impact upon the historic environment on any future development of the former chemical works. 72 sites previously recorded archaeological/historical sites were Listed, of which 20 were directly within the development area. Buildings/structures included post-medieval lead tanks, a railway bridge, a paper mill, cisterns, chimneys, a gasometer, a condenser, a bleachery works, a blast furnace and the chemical works sites. The development proposal would impact on the remains of the chemical works especially, which was potentially a nationally important monument founded in the late 1830s or early 1840s. A number of zones were also identified where archaeological remains may have survived and appropriate mitigation was recommended. [AIP] |
