Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in December 2015 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Morgan Sindall at St. Luke's Hospital, Leicester Road, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. The fieldwork was undertaken during the course of site clearance prior to construction of a new hospital wing. The watching brief revealed evidence of the earlier 19th century workhouse and provided constructional detail in the form of wall footings and other structural elements. Previous groundworks undertaken in 2010 to the east had found large areas of disturbance but had also identified parts of the eastern side of the workhouse. As well as part of the western quadrant, an ancillary building depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map had survived largely intact as below-ground structural footings. There were no indications of the survival of any earlier remains. |
