Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North on the site of the former buildings at 57/59 Dale Street (Eagle Star House), 61/63 Dale Street, 65/67 Dale Street (Pioneer Building) (Plate 1) and 10/12 Vernon Street, Liverpool, in preparation for the construction of a new hotel, associated retail and car parking (NGR SJ 34420 90640). The works were undertaken following the demolition of the buildings, but as these all had deep cellars there was little potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains. The principal area of investigation was an area of land, previously used as car parking for 10/12 Vernon Street, which had potential for the preservation of earlier surviving remains, specifically those that predate the realignment of Dale Street in the 1860s. As such, a watching brief was carried out within the areas to be affected by the ground works in order to examine any phases of construction within the site boundary which came to light as a result of the demolition works. The watching brief was undertaken in phases across five closely located areas. All of the archaeological structures and deposits identified during the course of the watching brief were sealed beneath cobble-stone setts of the pre-Second World War alignment of Hale Street. This road, which was contemporary with the remodelling and realignment of Dale Street during the 1860s, indicating that all of the surviving deposits below it predate the major Victorian remodelling of the business district. |
