Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In September and October 2009, Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted an archaeological desk-based assessment followed by a programme of historic building recording and archaeologicalmonitoring and recording at Tranters Yard in Baldock. The works were commissioned in advance ofthe demolition of the existing buildings to the rear of Whitehorse Street and construction of a number ofresidential dwellingsThe historic building recording found that two of the three buildings under assessment arecontemporary Buildings 1 and 2 are typical of construction seen during the middle of the 20th century,probably of 1940s or '50s date, constructed to serve a minor industrial purpose such as haulage yard ormechanic's workshop. Both have undergone much modification, retaining no original internal fittings.Building 3, to the north-east exhibits some minor historic interest, which though comprehensivelymodernised seems to be based around an original timber-framed core. The original roof survives andin one instance a corner post along with much of the timber-framing of the south wall, but the remaindercould be considered as effectively lost and superseded by the later modifications. Considering therecognisable elements suggests that this was always a humble agricultural building or out-house wherethe construction technique of the roof and the use of fairly robust primary-braced framing to the wallpanels perhaps indicates a date in the 18th century.Despite the potential for archaeological remains to be present on the site, especially dating from theRoman, medieval and post-medieval periods, no archaeological features or finds were located withinthe area of the new dwellings.
