| Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment revealed that it was the steel industry that made most impact on the development area. A steelworks was set up in 1822, with later additions in 1872 and included a steel foundry, steel forge and rolling mills. The works went into decline in the 1920s, although there were several attempts to reopen the company, it closed in the 1960s. The main archaeological implications for development on the site were the possibility of the Saxon Burgh or Medieval Village, and more importantly the location of a mass grave of probable Civil War date. It was recommended that a watching brief be carried out during development to record these burials should they be present. [Au(adp)] |
