Abstract:		 Three trenches were excavated at the corner of Union Street and Curzon Street, Nottingham, in order to evaluate the below-ground archaeological potential of the site. Likely assets included structural remains associated with the 19th century Victorian terrace housing and the possibility for earlier remains, including unknown caves. Elements of Victorian terrace housing were recorded in each of the three trenches; these structures show a strong correlation to the 1880 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map (Digimap, 2019), with some additions. Evidence for drainage activity was recorded in Trench 1 which had truncated earlier Victorian remains. The remains of a possible cellar were recorded in Trench 2. A probable outhouse containing a stairway was also identified, this structure is depicted on historic mapping of the area. A phase of probable building clearance can be inferred from the presence of a number of later robbing trenches that correspond to the the position of several Victorian walls. Several Victorian structures were recorded in Trench 3, with the possible remains of a coal storage unit investigated. Trench 3 included evidence for multiple walled foundations thought to be part of the terraced housing depicted on historic mapping of the area, along with several floor surfaces. The natural substrate, light yellow sandstone, was encountered beneath the Victorian and later structures in all three trenches. In these areas there was no evidence for any earlier archaeological remains and the Victorian remains lay directly on top of the natural substratum. No unknown caves were identified.
