Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust to undertake an archaeological watching brief during ground reduction works carried out as part of the construction of a new health care centre. The monitored works covered 0.44 ha, centred on NGR 421983, 369223, at Newholme Hospital, Baslow Road, Bakewell DE45 1AD. The proposed development entailed the partial demolition of the Cart House, complete demolition of the late 20th century East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) building and Riverside Ward. The above ground buildings of the Riverside Ward and EMAS were demolished prior to the watching brief starting. Intrusive groundworks were carried out in large spit layers across the Site reducing the level of the ground. These entailed the removal of tarmac car park surfaces, the breaking out of existing concrete and breeze block foundations of the 20th-century buildings, and removal of any obstructions/structures below ground up to an approximate depth of 2.5 m. There was a general paucity of archaeological remains found across the Site. No archaeological structures associated with the workhouse buildings or earlier activity were encountered during the watching brief. Besides the remaining modern concrete foundations of the Riverside Ward, the only archaeological evidence was a midden layer containing glass bottle and pottery fragments, and two stone culverts, one part of a canalised stream and the other likely joining it. The midden layer was located in the area where one of the workhouse buildings would have once stood and was most likely rubbish derived from that phase of the Site’s occupation. The archaeological watching brief established the poor preservation of archaeological remains on the Site, likely due to the construction of the Riverside Ward within the 20th century in this area. The discovery of the possible midden and stone culverts while of local interest, do not require any further archaeological analysis. The finds are of recent date and offer little further research potential; long term retention is not recommended in this case.
