Abstract: |
A planning application was submitted to Pendle Borough Council by Persimmon Homes Ltd, for the development of 30 dwellings, including the refurbishment of two existing buildings and the creation of an appropriate infrastructure and landscaping at Edge End Farm, Nelson, Lancashire. Conditional permission was granted with a requirement for an archaeological investigation to be carried out in the form of archaeological building recording of the earlier of the two buildings. Lancashire County Archaeology Service (LCAS) issued a specification for the building recording in order to allow the client to meet the terms of the condition. OA North was commissioned by Persimmon Homes Ltd to undertake the building investigation in December 2005. The map regression analysis and building investigation at Edge End Farm has revealed that the house in question was probably constructed in the mid-late nineteenth century. It was probably constructed as a farmhouse during a phase of expansion at Edge End during the mid-late nineteenth century. A watching brief was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North on 12th December 2005 at Edge End Farm, Nelson, Lancashire (SD 8561 3671). Oxford Archaeology North was commissioned to undertake the works during the topsoil stripping and overburden removal activity along the access road to the site. In the event, through circumstances beyond the control of Oxford Archaeology North, most of the groundworks were completed in the absence of an archaeological presence, and those that were conducted under archaeological observation yielded nothing of any archaeological significance. |
