Abstract: |
The site lies 1.70km SW of the modern city centre of Manchester, situated at c. 33m AOD and encompassed the site of Hulme Barracks, which was constructed in 1804 and housed several cavalry and infantry regiments until its closure in 1914. The Manchester Corporation maintained the main building, which changed use over the next century and is now Grade II listed. The archaeological remains of the Stores, Riding School, Terraced Housing abutting the Barracks on the SE side and the Canteen were positively identified in four out of five trenches. The Stables were not positively identified. The main buildings were constructed from brick, with stone surfaces identified in several trenches in variable states of preservation. Later modifications, not visible on the maps, were also identified. Many of the finds were typical for sites of this period, including 19th century ceramics however more unusual finds include several glass Bovril bottles recovered from Trench 1 (Canteen) and a 19th century military token from Trench 2 (Riding School). |
