Abstract: |
Capita Symonds, on behalf of their client Blackburn with Darwin Borough Council, commissioned Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) to undertake an archaeological building recording of a former shop, known as Diamond Aquatics, and short length of wall and other features on King Street, Blackburn (NGR SD 6787 2779). The recording is required in order to obtain planning permission to demolish the structures, in line with National Planning Policy Framework guidelines (2012). The former shop, 61 King Street, stands alone but only a short distance from another empty building to the east at 53 King Street (Listed Grade II), which was the subject of a building survey by OA North in 2008 to obtain listed building consent for its demolition. The length of wall and other features stand immediately to the east of 53 King Street, and formed part of the frontage of the former County Police Station constructed in 1874 (now demolished). An evaluation, consisting of two trial trenches, was also carried by OA North in 2007, which centred on open ground within a builder's yard to the rear of 53 King Street. The series of archaeological investigations form part of a wider planning application (ref. 10/08/0187) for the construction of a new link road between the Freckleton Street railway crossing and King Street where it meets Montague Street, which was subject to a photographic survey of the route corridor in 2009. A desk-based assessment, carried out in 2007 by Edgerton Lea Consultancy Ltd, had identified a number of potential heritage assets, including 61 King Street, that will be affected by the development. The methodology for the recording work was based upon an English Heritage Level 2 survey for the building and a Level 1 survey for the wall and other features and was agreed by Lancashire County Archaeology Service (LCAS). |
