Abstract:		 The Field Services section of the Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust undertook a heritage desk based study to assess the potential impact on the cultural heritage of a proposed development on Chester Street in Shrewsbury (SJ 4935 1300). The study examined relevant sources available in the Shropshire Records and Research Centre and the Shropshire Historic Environment Record and has demonstrated that there are no recorded heritage assets, designated or undesignated, within the development plot, although the site of a medieval town cross is known to lie within the general area. Using cartographic sources it has been possible to trace the development of the Chester Street area from the last quarter of the 16th century to the present day. Although the area of Castle Foregate is known to have developed as an extra mural suburb during the medieval period the earliest mapped evidence, dating to 1575, shows the area between what is now Castle Foregate and Chester Street as a broad thoroughfare, within which was a cross, positioned towards the northern end. By the early 17th century this block of land had been partially infilled with buildings, forming the present day street pattern, with some of the buildings likely to have been located within the development plot. Later mapping shows that this area underwent several phases of redevelopment, though generally with buildings along the street frontages and yard areas and outbuildings to the rear. During the 19th century a row of what appear to be terraced houses occupied the front of the plot and these remained until the 1960s when they were demolished. The assessment has demonstrated that the development plot has been occupied since around 1600 and it would not be unreasonable to expect that significant buried remains survive within the area. However, the footprint of the proposed new building almost exactly matches the position of the 19th century terrace, which may have disturbed underlying deposits.
