Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology Ltd was commissioned to undertake recording of historic buildings on a proposed development site at Commercial Road, Hawick, Roxburghshire. Headland had already produced an archaeological desk based assessment for this site in October 2008, which identified the remains of two late 18th or early 19th century textile mill complexes, Dangerfield Mill and Langlands Mill, within the proposed development area. Structures to be recorded included the standing building associated with Dangerfield Mills (the wool sorting shed) and the remains of Langlands Mill. Recording of the standing structures related to Langlands and Dangerfield Mills provides documentation of the changes that have taken place on the site since construction of the mills in the 19th century. The surviving wool sorting shed and ruined weaving and carding sheds related to Dangerfield Mill most likely represent buildings constructed during the expansion of the mill in the late 19th century. The composition of the wall remains of Langlands Mill suggests different phases of construction. Some rubble-built portions of the wall may date to the early 19th century, when the site was occupied by the Rough Heugh Mill, and later incorporated into the Langlands Mill. Given the prior demolition of the majority of both mill complexes and the significant alterations to both standing buildings on the site their value as historic structures had been compromised. This report forms a record of the structures prior to demolition and redevelopment in line with the requirements of the planning authority. |
