Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Kings Cross Central General Partner Limited to undertake an archaeological watching brief of five geotechnical test pits inside and close to the Midland Goods Shed, King's Cross Central, London, centred on OS NGR TQ 3024 8356. Although the Shed is not listed, it lies within a Conservation Area. It is a large mid 19th century two-storey brick building that stands on the footprint of an 1850 single-storey carriage shed, some fabric of which appears to survive within the extant building. The single-storey shed was designed by the architect Lewis Cubitt. A major regeneration development scheme has been proposed for the King's Cross area. Outline planning consent has been agreed for the refurbishment and reuse of the Midland Goods Shed. The watching brief forms part of a wider programme of archaeological and recording work taking place as part of the King's Cross Central development. It was carried out from 6th to 13th February 2009. A silty clay found in the base of all the Test Pits was interpreted as material that was redeposited in 1849 to 1850 to create a level platform for the new King's Cross Goods Station. The brick walls of the 1850 Goods Shed were recorded in some of the Test Pits. Later alterations recorded in the Test Pits included rails, a cobbled surface, the internal timber platform and the foundations of the office block added to the Goods Shed in c.1872. No artefacts were recovered during the watching brief.
