Abstract:		 In February 2016 ARS Ltd was commissioned to undertake archaeological works on the site of 47 Houldsworth Street, Manchester. Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a 13-storey building on the site, which specified that a scheme of archaeological work must be carried out prior to development of the site. The archaeological evaluation comprised four trenches, 10 -14 m in length, and targeted at specific features known from historical records, namely workers' housing, a pub, and a coal yard which previously occupied the site but have since been demolished, as well as any other archaeological remains not known from historical documents. In Trench 1, fragments of walls and a partially preserved yard surface were uncovered, relating to the 18th century workers' housing. Trench 2 cut through the cellar of the recently demolished 47 Houldsworth Street. Two phases of activity were identified beneath this cellar floor. Walls related to the 19th century coal yard were uncovered and interestingly the remains of an 18th century field boundary ditch, offering a small window into the pre-industrial history of the site. Trench 3 also cut through part of the cellar of the recently demolished 47 Houldsworth Street and also uncovered part of a cobbled yard probably related to the demolished pub, and an earlier bricked yard, probably 18th century. Trench 4 uncovered part of the cellar of the Lord Nelson Pub which had previously stood in the northwest corner of the site.
