Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Bellway Homes Ltd to undertake an archaeological standing building assessment (to English Heritage Level 2) of the former Lisk Controls site, Nottingham Road, Lount, Leicestershire. Planning permission is being sought to re-develop the site for residential use. The proposed re-development will require the demolition of the existing buildings on the site of the former Coleorton Pottery. The Pottery at Coleorton was in operation from about 1840 to 1932. The building survey suggests that there are no structural remains of the earliest pottery building surviving within the proposed development area. The survey did however record elements of the late 19th century buildings recorded by the 1903 Ordnance Survey map; these were limited to large partially exposed timbers in the office building on the Nottingham Road frontage. Recent renovation work and decoration within this building may be concealing other earlier elements. The remainder of the buildings within the proposed development area are mainly mid- to late 20th century in date and of limited historical or architectural interest. However, the building survey did suggest that significant quantities of re-used materials had been used during the construction of these later buildings. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums, under the museums accession number X.A94.2011. |
