Abstract:		 Prior to the submission of a planning application for the construction of three apartment blocks on land off Darby Lane, Hindley, Wigan, Greater Manchester, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to produce an archaeological desk-based assessment. This primarily comprised an examination of the relevant HER data, documentary sources, principally old maps, and other sources, as well as a site visit. The site is located in the centre of Hindley, a settlement of at least medieval origins in a wider landscape of prehistoric archaeology, close to the Roman road between the forts at Manchester and Wigan. Like much of the region the area became dominated by industry, including textile production, and the map evidence shows that the site was located on an area of cottages and other buildings associated with the nearby Worthington Mills, which was established in the early 19th century. Later maps show that these were demolished in the early 20th century and replaced with a single large building, which is still standing. The site visit revealed that this was at least partly used as a warehouse; it is now a garage. All of the various strands of evidence demonstrate that the site has some archaeological interest, primarily in its post-medieval industrial remains, and there is limited potential for earlier features to be present.
