Abstract:		 The Centre of Archaeology was commissioned in 10/2014 by the Historic Environment Consultancy, acting on behalf of Smith Brothers (Tamworth) Developers Ltd, to undertake an archaeological wtaching brief in respect of a proposed building extension and short sewer run at 55-56 Church Street, Tamworth, The investigations revealed the remnants of demolished 20th century outhouses alongside a number of features, including two possible rubbish pits in the south-western corner of the site dating to the 19th century and a modern drainage gully running from the south west to the north of the site. No saxon or medieval finds were recovered from the site and there is no evidence that this site was occupied during aforementioned periods, although previous development and historical ground works on this site may have removed any archaeological features and deposits dating to these earlier periods. Upon consideration of the stratigraphic record and the artefact assemblage recovered from the site, no further work is warranted on the site.
