Abstract: |
The proposed development site incorporates an area of c. 0.67 hectares of vacant previously developed land, within the southern part of the centre of Rochdale, south of the railway station. Prior to the establishment of the canal in the late 18th century, this landscape was predominantly agricultural, dotted by larger houses. Following the opening of the canal, this area was dominated by cotton mills, occupying plots of land adjacent to the former Rochdale Branch Canal, which once bisected the site. Mills were established on the site, potentially by 1831 with Victoria Mill on the eastern side of the canal, and in the 1860s, on the western side of the canal, Grove Mills. A development within the site boundary has the potential to directly impact on the surviving remains of these three heritage assets known to have existed within the site boundary. This would result in a limited impact on overall heritage significance. Similar projects have led to archaeological excavations which have revealed a good level of survival of below ground features and deposits, and further archaeological mitigative work has also been envisaged for this site, in the form of a trial trench evaluation and excavation. The scope and requirements for all such further is dependent on advice from Greater Manchester Archaeological Advisory Service. |
