Abstract:		 Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology was appointed to undertake an archaeological watching brief during works on the Burslem Branch Canal at Middleport, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (NGR SJ 8659 4879). The canal was built in the early 19th century to facilitate the supply of raw materials to pottery manufacturers in Burslem and to transport finished wares to major seaports via the main Trent and Mersey navigation. The Burslem spur was abandoned and back-filled after the embankment breached in the mid-20th century. The watching brief recorded part of the canal's eastern washwall. The discovery of this feature helped to ascertain the overall width of the canal (13.20m), but as excavations ceased at a depth of c.1.0m below ground level, the original base of the canal was not revealed.
