Series: The Jessop Consultancy unpublished report series

Desk-based assessment of the site of a former non-conformist chapel

The JESSOP Consultancy produced an archaeological desk-based assessment for 149 High Street, Thurnscoe, South Yorkshire, centred on National Grid Reference SK 44702 45020. The report was prepared to inform a proposed outline planning application for demolition of existing buildings and new residential development. The site comprises a former 18th century farmstead, established at the time when the agricultural landscape at Thurnscoe was being enclosed. Included within the site are a dwelling, former barn and former stables, whilst to its east is an area of open ground that historically formed an orchard. Subsequent alterations to the complex have eroded the integrity of the historic buildings, affecting their architectural and historical interest, such that they are considered to be of no more than local significance. The site is considered to have a low archaeological potential for remains of Iron Age to Romano-British agricultural activities and a moderate potential for medieval settlement activity. The significance of any such remains is uncertain, although consideration of previous excavation in the area and the context of the site suggests that they could be of local significance.

This report presents the findings of an archaeological desk-based assessment for the site at 18-26 Johnson Street, Sheffield centred on National Grid Reference SK 35689 8804. It has been prepared to assess the potential impacts, if any, arising from proposed development of the area The historical study revealed a microcosm of Sheffield life in the 19th Century, although the site today holds little potential for any significant archaeological interest.
