Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Caddick Construction, on behalf of Stonebridge Mills Limited, to carry out an archaeological watching brief as part of the ongoing redevelopment of Stonebridge Mills, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS12 4QN, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 425586, 432875. The archaeological watching brief was specifically targeted at Buildings 10 and 11, the Old Mill and its later Engine House. The watching brief methodology was successfully executed, and the aims of the project met. The work followed on from a programme of historic building recording, undertaken by Wessex Archaeology, that had documented and analysed the structures ahead of and during the on-site programme of redevelopment works. The results of the watching brief are typical of many former industrial sites: the former engine and machinery removed, spaces backfilled, and significant evidence for past processes largely erased. What remains in this instance casts some light on the former process of power transmission and the operation at the mill. Within Building 10, former drainage features were recorded, with a series of machine bases, a cistern / well, and a possible wheel pit recorded to the southwestern end of the room, along with sections of former brick paving. Within Building 11, remains of the c.1860 beam engine bed were recorded, including a wheel pit and the remains of a coolant pump and supply pipe. The measurements of the former beam engine given in a local Register of Historic Steam Engines compiled in the 1950s, were broadly confirmed, with a 19’-diameter wheel fitting within the given span between the wheel pit and its driveshaft support within the wall separating Buildings 10 and 11. This confirmed the observations made during the previous historic building recording exercise.
