Abstract:
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out around the southern edge of a now defunct but extant paper mill complex and on ground to the east, south and west of mill buildings at Calder Park Road, Mid Calder, West Lothian. 'The New Calder Paper Mill' as depicted on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map published in 1853 was extensively redeveloped during the 1950's to form the present layout of the paper mill. One of these later brick built mill buildings was found to have incorporated part of the southern end of an earlier mid-eighteenth century sandstone built mill building with a later nineteenth century sandstone built extension appended to the south. Two trenches located to the immediate west and south of the early mill extension identified cobbled surfaces and an area of hard standing. Fireclay drainpipes were visible in three of the evaluation trenches located to the south and west of the mill but no further archaeological features were recorded during the evaluation. As an aside, the Smithy building depicted on the 1st edition Ordinance Survey map of 1853 located to the immediate south-east of the proposed development was demolished within the last 50 years and the stone used by the mill employees to build or repair the mill dam located upstream of the mill on the River Almond beyond the modern road bridge. A steel framed shed latterly containing straw bales located to the immediate south of and once forming part of the mill complex was recently destroyed by fire.
