Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by ECUS Ltd, on behalf of CEG, to undertake archaeological mitigation worksatf land located at Marshall's A and B Mills, Globe Road, Holbeck, Leeds, West Yorkshire. The archaeological remains were predominantly structural and related to development of the site from 1791 through to the demolition of standing remains in 2019. Remains of Marshalls first mill (built 1791), Mill A, and its ancillary buildings were excavated.. Remains of Marshalls second mill, Mill B which was constructed in 1795, were excavated. Several extensions to the Mill B and its ancillary buildings were excavated corresponding to buildings seen on the 1850 J Rapkin map, by which time the first Mill A structure had been demolished. Following the demolition of Mill B, a stone-built engine house, flue and chimney structure was constructed, truncating the Mill B remains was excavated. This corresponded to the construction of the Monk Bridge bobbin and shuttle factory seen on the 1895 OS map. The development of the bobbin and shuttle factory continued with the construction of a turning shop to the west, the excavated remains of which dominated the eastern half of Area B. By 1901, a stables complex had been constructed at the far east of the site, spanning the entirety of Area A. The excavated remains of the stables included a series of loose boxes for keeping horses, and a cart track as labelled on the 1901 Goad map of the area. Later development of the site included the 1950's Industrial Cooperative Society Garage and the Globe Works warehouse. The archaeological remains were predominantly structural and related to development of the site from 1791 through to the demolition of standing remains in 2019. |
