Abstract: |
An archaeological strip, map and sample programme was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October and November 2008 at Brewery Quarter, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Following on from the results of a previous desk-based assessment and two phases of evaluation, two areas were excavated. In one area, four pits of medieval date identified during an evaluation in 2002 were located. A further group of three medieval pits was identified. Walls and surfaces relating to buildings depicted on an 1885 Ordnance Survey map were also identified, along with boundary walls and ditches of similar date. The service ducts and floors of the Usher's Brewery bottling plant which once stood on the site were also encountered. It appears that the brewery buildings closely follow the Victorian street plan. In the second area, two phases of a substantial post-medieval town house, Conigre House, were revealed, along with subsequent walls and surfaces associated with the Usher's Brewery bottling plant and a later car park. |
