Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation at the site of a former tanyard, High Street/Broadway, Shifnal, Shropshire (NGR SJ 7480 0802) was commissioned by Morris Homes West Midlands. The work was undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology in May 2006 as part of a staged archaeological response to a planning application for the development of the site with residential accommodation. An earlier desk-based assessment identified that the site was located in one of the earliest parts of the town which was planned in the 14th century. It also identified that the site bordered the Wesley Brook, and there was therefore the potential for good environmental remains, dating from the medieval period onwards, to survive within the bounds of the proposed development. There was also good documentary and cartographic evidence for a tannery, known to have been in operation from at least 1828. Three trial trenches were excavated to assess the archaeological potential of the site revealing that structures from the tanning complex were well preserved. The tanning pits themselves, also identifiable from cartographic sources, were found to have been constructed variously from brick and wood, and re-used masonry. The environmental evidence showed that following its abandonment circa 1929, the pits were backfilled up to ground level to increase yard space, and the buildings were re-used as stabling.
