Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out in December 2005 along the route of a proposed road scheme in Darlaston, near Walsall, West Midlands (centred on NGR SO 980987). The proposed road scheme involves work around Bentley Road South. A previous desk-based assessment, conducted for the Darlaston Strategic Development Area, concluded that the area as a whole was probably not initially developed prior to the closing stages of the eighteenth century, though the area spans much of the core industrial area which established Darlaston''s importance and reputation as a regional and national centre for mining and the manufacture of metals and metal goods from the mid-nineteenth century (Conway 2002). The assessment concluded that below-ground archaeological remains associated with a malthouse depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Map (BCSMR 11032) might survive within the study area. The assessment further concluded that early- 20th-century walls fronting Bentley Road South to the south of the canal have earlier 19th-century walls incorporated into them relating to earlier industrial works and might merit further archaeological recording if they are to be demolished during redevelopment. |
