Abstract: |
Upton-upon-Severn has been the subject of a recent survey undertaken as part of the Central Marches Historic Towns Survey which contains a summary of previous archaeological work in the town (Dalwood 1996). The buildings on Old Street are predominantly 17th to late 18th century, of two or three storeys, timber-framed and brick built. A large number of Listed Buildings are situated on Old Street within the immediate vicinity of the site (WSM 12341-46, 12370, 16824-28, 16838-49), Archaeological investigations have been undertaken at a number of sites in the vicinity. An archaeological watching brief at the Baptist Church on the opposite side of Old Street revealed post-medieval and earlier rubbish deposits suggesting the land was used for occasional waste disposal. No deposits of structures relating to the medieval period or earlier were revealed (WSM 31637). An assemblage of unstratified finds has been recovered from Astley Cooper Close and School Lane 0.15km to the south-east. The material is indicative of urban domestic activity from the late medieval, particularly the 15th to 16th centuries, continuing into the 18th and early 19th centuries (WSM 35774). |
