Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during March 2019 at the former St John's Ambulance site, 11 North Street, Rothley, Leicestershire in connection with a proposal to develop the site for commercial use. An earlier desk-based assessment showed that by the late C18 the area had become partly developed with a large house occupying the corner between North Street Woodgate Street. Two cottages, one constructed with local stone in the C18 and the other in the C19 with brick, were later added to the south of the building. The partial remains of these structures were revealed within one of the evaluation trenches near the street frontage. Cartographic and photographic sources show that this range of buildings had been demolished by the second half of C20. A series of features were recorded in the south-west area of the site, two of these comprised two closely aligned C19 or C20 linear ditches probably associated with former rear property boundaries. A single sherd of residual medieval pottery within one of these fills indicated some background medieval activity. |
