Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken on the site of a proposed public house at West Bridge Place, formerly grounds of the Pex Factory on the west bank of the Soar and south side of St Augustine's Road. Five trenches were examined and deposits were divided into three zones based on character and dating. Zone 1 (trenches 1,3, and 4) comprised Roman deposits including a possible beamslot, a posthole and a ditch, associated with early second to early third century pottery, and sealed by a truncated medieval garden soil. Roman building materials including tile, tesserae and wall plaster were also found. Zone 2 (trenches 1-3) revealed waterlogged medieval rubbish deposits containing leather offcuts, wood fragments and pottery of 12th to 13th century date, sealed by black silty clay deposits of an early river channel, found running across the eastern side of the site. Zone 3 (trenches 4 and 5) represents a probable riverbank revetted with large granite boulders, and overlain by makeups of 12th to 14th century date. These layers were cut by a variety of medieval constructional features possibly related to buildings that would have fronted onto the West Bridge approach. [Au(abr)]
