Abstract: |
Archaeo-Environment were commissioned to undertake a desk based assessment at the Washington Chemical Works, a potential nationally important site, in advance of development. The works are the site of a number of innovative techniques used to advance the chemical industry in the 19th century, and started as a lead, silver and paint manufactory before moving into magnesia and alkali production. It subsequently moved into the production of insulation materials and converted the wire rope works into a cork plant. Although a large area of the development has been reclaimed and offers no constraints a number of zones have been identified where archaeological remains might survive, and where appropriate mitigation has been recommended. |
