Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned by Morgan Sindall to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring and historic building recording during a major capacity enhancement project at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh. The monitoring work concentrated on the site of a former car park to the west of the station building and revealed a number of features relating to the 19th century railway station, including an earlier railway alignment and foundations for adjacent platforms and buildings. The potential for earlier remains was found to be very low due to substantial truncation caused by the construction and expansion of the railway during the mid to late 19th century. The historic building recording documented the many changes made to the ground floor, basement and sub-basement of the existing station building and a series of rooms adjacent to Platform 4. These could mostly be tied to major renovations in 1894 and 1984. |
