Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during groundbreaking works for the construction of a new depot and office extension with associated roadway, car parking area and yard at South Bridge House, Whinfield Road, Selkirk. The groundworks were undertaken on the site of a now demolished factory, and Selkirk Station, a Victorian station and rail-yard. The watching brief uncovered fragmentary evidence of the factory which was built during the 1970s and demolished some time after. A large, heavily disturbed portion of mortar-bonded sandstone rubble foundation was also recorded. Although its precise provenance is unknown, it is probably associated with the former rail-yard or station. However, with no associated dating evidence and given the poor preservation, it is unclear to what phase or purpose the remains can be attributed within the wider historical context of the station itself. Two modern demolition cuts were revealed within the trench sections during the excavations. These features are associated with the removal of the former station complex. The watching brief has indicated that the demolition process during the removal of the final phase of Selkirk station was comprehensive.
