Abstract:		 ESE Project Management, on behalf of Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, requested a programme of archaeological watching brief during ground works to create a new main entrance and multi-storey car park to the north of the existing Women and Children's Unit, on Whinney Heys Road, at the Victoria Hospital, Blackpool, Lancashire (NGR centred SD 33443 36483). The proposed development site lay over the position of the former Whinney Heys Hall that was in existence from 1575 until 1957. With a potential for encountering cellars, foundations or other archaeological remains during any ground breaking works, Oxford Archaeology North was commissioned to conduct the watching brief, which took place over 12 days between 6th and 22nd March 2013. Initially, an area of former car park was stripped. Under thin deposits of tarmac and hardcore some of the remaining foundations of the eastern half of the hall and an area of cobblestones, presumably forming an external yard area, were exposed. An extension to the stripped area exposed the surviving foundations from the western half of the building. These remains showed that Whinney Heys Hall would have been a modest-sized dwelling closely resembling the building represented on the Ordnance Survey map of 1893 in both shape and orientation. Other works observed in the immediate vicinity of the hall's footprint showed large amounts of disturbance relating to the existing hospital buildings construction, and therefore any future works in the area will yield very little in the way of archaeological remains.
