Abstract:		 Archaeological Strip, Map and Record established the presence of structural remains most of which were associated with the 19th century Brass Foundry and Carver Works. The main remnants of the former Brass Foundry comprised a brick-built structure to the south-east of the northern plot and facing onto Backfields with evidence of a ginnel which provided access to a courtyard. Three crucibles were retrieved from a brick-lined pit located within former Brass Foundry plot. Evidence of a primary steam powered engine with associated flue and chimney was also identified within the former Carver Works plot. The steam engine would have been replaced by an electric motor in the first quarter of the 20th century. Another later structure 2107 which might have accommodated an additional electric motor appeared to have been built immediately to the west of the flue chamber and adjacent to the primary boiler/engine room. The structural remains within this plot also included two cellars, whose roof had been truncated, and limited brickwork of a former trapezoidal workshop which was located within the central courtyard of the Works. Virtually most of the remains corresponded to former ground/floor levels and/or foundation levels. However, structures which contained underground constructions such as pits, flue brick channels, chimney base and cellars, were reasonably well-preserved albeit later truncations and intrusions. The artefacts retrieved included a mixture of domestic refuse (pottery, clay tobacco pipes, animal bone and glass) and industrial debris (metalwork and crucibles) ranging from 18th century through to the 20th century; the majority of which related to the demolition of the Works.
