Abstract:		 assessment that was produced by Salford Archaeology in 2016 to support the planning application. This assessment concluded that there was a possibility of archaeological remains surviving within the proposed development area relating to the early / mid-19th-century Castle Street Mills complex, and the mid-19th-century Tame Foundry. In the first instance, the archaeological resource of the site was tested by the excavation of four evaluation trenches, which were placed across the footprint of buildings of potential archaeological interest, and specifically an engine house built in 1827 for the Castle Street Mills, and the main processing areas of the later iron foundry. The trenches also aimed to elucidate further information on the power-transmission system from an engine house added to the mill complex in the mid-19th century; this building survives as the only extant structure on the site, and is afforded statutory protection as a Grade II listed building Stalybridge has a rich heritage of textile manufacturing and, from the 19 th century, iron founding. However, there are very few accounts of these industries, and their importance on a local and regional platform is not well represented in published histories of the town. The programme of archaeological investigation on Castle Street has provided a valuable opportunity to investigate the physical remains of an important textile-mill complex, and a small iron foundry, cumulatively representing the key characteristic of a new industrialised urban landscape that emerged during the early decades of the 19th century.
