Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken on behalf of the Kingsway English Centre at 40-41 Foregate Street, Worcester, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8486 5535; WCM 101051). A demolition or levelling layer was found within the present upstanding 18th century building on the site. This layer dated to the 17th century and had several brick walls and floors cut in to and laid on top of it, which post-date it and are possibly contemporary with the present upstanding structure. To the rear of the building the groundworks revealed the footings of the building to be laid within a dark garden soil. Outside and to the rear of the building a series of layers were revealed in section and were to be found to be cut by a rubbish pit. The pit produced artefacts dating to the mid to late 17th century, dating the layers to that date or earlier. All the features dated were from the post-medieval and modern periods. |
