Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief at the Market Square, Church St., Stoke-on-Trent (NGR SJ 87730 45130). The site was occupied by Stoke Market Hall from 1883 until 1982, when much of the building was destroyed by fire. The watching brief took place between 31st March and 12th May 2008 and monitored all trenching in the market square and within the existing building. Four cut features, at least one of which was a drain, and a small number of brick walls, probably relating to the late 19th-century market hall were discovered in the square. A made-ground deposit encountered across the market square contained a substantial quantity of early 19th-century pottery waste, possibly produced at one of the two works owned by Thomas Wolfe during this period. |
