Abstract:
OAE and Lucy Walker, from the Mill Road History Project, conducted archaeological monitoring at 56\56a Mill Road, Cambridge during the demolition and partial conversion of the existing shops and rear extensions at the site. Three monitoring visits took place between 20th April and 8th May 2015, uncovering features dating to the 19th century. Whilst these do not appear to relate to the mill itself, they are likely to be contemporary with it. Due to the new development the community archaeology project was relocated to Ditchburn Place. This location, 90m to the south-east of the windmill site on the north-east side of Mill Road, was the site of the Cambridge Union Workhouse from 1837. Three test pits were excavated here between the 11th and 12th September 2015. Two test pits were targeted on the remains of tramps' cells, built in 1879 on the street frontage of the plot. The third, was located in an area between the 19th century buildings. Activity dating to the 20th century was recorded in Test Pits 1 and 2. Natural deposits were not reached here as a result of the depth of the modern overburden. No significant archaeological deposits were uncovered in Test Pit 3.
