Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Western Power at land off Blackfriars Street, Hereford (NGR SO 5098, 4033; HER ref 2121). Three 10m trenches were opened on the footprint of proposed transformers and a new control building. The trenches revealed cellars and a series of brick and concrete structures dating to the 1920's construction of an early electricity works or industrial depot building. Trench 1 had a narrow gauge rail track orientated north-south, set in a concrete base. It may be associated with the railway system that is recorded on the 1929 OS map of the area heading east-west across the Cattle Market, and may have used to transport fuel or goods into, or around the electricity works. The series of brick and concrete structures and cellars sealed a homogenous silty clay made ground above the natural ground level, that was consistent with works on the adjacent site. |
