Abstract: |
Prior to development by North East Lincolnshire Council, a single archaeological trench was investigated on land at the west end of Victoria Street, Grimsby, North-East Lincolnshire. The excavation identified medieval pits, deposits and a ditch, believed to reflect 13th to 14th century activity. Some of the features identified contained waterlogged deposits, yielding amongst other things wood fragments, leather artefacts and off-cuts and a range of important environmental and economic indicators: the site appears to have been located very close to a cobbler's workshop, and also close to/within an area of fish processing, possibly on an industrial scale. The investigation was constrained by the proximity of live services, and the area available was too restricted to allow close examination of the deeper archaeological features. The archaeology identified confirms that this part of Grimsby was an economically significant and densely occupied zone in the medieval period, and that further investigations may be highly productive and wholly desirable. |
