Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Keepmoat Homes Ltd to carry out archaeological evaluation and mitigation works on land off Hawthorn Avenue, Hull. The site is centred on National Grid Reference TA 067 282. Historic maps indicate that this area underwent a rapid transition from rural farmland to industrial suburbs after the arrival of the railway in the mid 19th century and several brickworks were established on the site. The archaeological investigations were required as a condition of planning consent for residential development; part of the Newington St Andrews regeneration project. The archaeological excavations focussed upon the brickworks depicted on the historic maps and investigated and recorded three separate brickyards. Twentieth century development was found to have significantly disturbed some parts of the site and therefore the survival of archaeological remains varied across the development area. Each of the three brickyards included the remains of a kiln, whilst the yard to the west of the railway was the best preserved and also contained buildings, a yard area, drainage features and a track or tramway. These well-preserved structural remains, as well as a substantial working area, combine to give an insight into the nature and scale of activity carried out here at the end of the 19th century. The site archive, including finds, is currently stored at Wessex Archaeology's Sheffield premises. Upon completion of this project, the archive will be deposited with the Hull and East Riding Museum for long-term storage and curation. |
