Abstract:		 CFA Archaeology undertook a programme of historical research and archaeological recording prior to the construction of a windfarm at Todmorden Moor, Flower Scar Road, Todmorden, Calderdale, West Yorkshire. The work involved the consultation of historical documents as well as aerial photographs. Those results were transcribed and geo-referenced in advance of a walkover survey. The purpose of the work was to gather information regarding the extent, condition and character of any surviving archaeological remains; namely features associated with early mining activity. The walkover survey targeted an area of c. 163.5 hectares of upland moorland. The recorded sites were predominantly related to the extraction of raw materials including coal, fireclay and sandstone. The remains of Sandy Road Colliery were located to the north of Flower Scar Road. The surviving remains of this colliery were recorded as a linear arrangement of sites indicative of mine entrances, shafts, sink holes and collapsed galleries, vestigial structures, spoil heaps and a probable rail road. To the south of Sandy Road Colliery, and in the region of Saunder Clough, a large and complicated landscape of mining related sites was recorded. It was not certain, due to the undiagnostic nature of the remains to which disused workings these sites were related, although the Todmorden Colliery and the Saunder Foot Colliery were located close by. Evidence for the extraction of Fireclay could be seen from drift entrances and collapsed galleries immediately west of the Holden Gate Slack. These remains seemed to relate to the extraction of fireclay by the Sharney Wood Fireclay Works. To the west of the site, adjacent to Bacup Road were the remains of Clough Foot Colliery and Clough Head Quarry. The survey identified areas where, depending on the final development layout, remains may be impacted upon to some degree.
