| Description | In October 2019, Salford Archaeology was commissioned by WSP, acting on behalf of Transport for Greater Manchester and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, to maintain an archaeological watching brief during geo-technical groundworks carried out as part of the development of Stockport Interchange in Stockport, Greater Manchester (centred on NGR SJ 389123 390395). The geo-technical investigation involved the excavation of six trial pits and four window samples to inform design detail for a consented scheme that allows for construction of a replacement bus interchange with associated development (Planning Ref: DC/071417). |

| Description | Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by WSP, on behalf of Transport for Greater Manchester and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, to carry out an archaeological excavation in advance of the re-development of Heaton Lane car park in Stockport (NGR 389123 390395). The excavation was successful in addressing the aims and objectives set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI). The results of the excavation revealed a palimpsest of 19th and 20th-century archaeological remains. These have been analysed to their full potential and it is recommended that a summary of the existing information be published in an appropriate journal. |

| Description | Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by WSP on behalf of Transport for Greater Manchester and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council to carry out an archaeological evaluation comprising the excavation of three trenches in advance of the re-development of Heaton Lane car park in Stockport (NGR 389123 390395). The uncovered features comprise brick walls, concrete platforms, brick and cobble surfaces and possible cellaring. The remains represent evidence of industrial and residential buildings, roads and some of the internal structures within the mill buildings formerly present on the site, and date from the 19th and 20th centuries. These remains, which are generally poorly preserved, were covered by layers of demolition material generated when the site’s former buildings were razed. The archaeological horizon lay at a depth of 0.5–0.6 m bgl in the three trenches. The evaluation produced a very small assemblage of finds; all dateable material can be accommodated within a 19th-/20th-century date range. Pottery provides the main type of artefact, other material comprises glass (machine-made bottle/jar; reinforced window) and tobacco pipe (plain stem fragments) and metalwork (modern fittings and undiagnostic fragments). The assemblage is considered to have limited archaeological significance and no further research potential. Due to the nature of the deposits encountered, no environmental samples were recovered during the evaluation. The evaluation was generally successful in meeting its aims and objectives, with the results being informative with regard to the presence, nature, date and extent of the archaeological remains preserved on the site. Some of the results contribute to the site-specific objectives that informed the work, particularly in terms of the probable effects of the proposed remediation on the buried remains. |

| Description | WSP UK Ltd (WSP) was instructed by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) to undertake a Phase II Geo-Environmental Ground Investigation to support the proposed temporary redevelopment of land off Heaton Lane, Stockport, SK4 1AQ. The Heaton Lane site is proposed to be used as a temporary bus station during the construction of the new bus interchange as part of the wider Stockport Interchange Development. The aim of the investigation was to assess soil and groundwater conditions on site to identify any potential environmental and geotechnical constraints that may impact on the proposed development. |

| Description | WSP has been commissioned by Transport for Greater Manchester and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council to produce a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) for an archaeological trial trench evaluation, in advance of the re-development of Heaton Lane car park, Stockport as a temporary bus station / depot. The groundworks for the temporary re-development of Heaton Lane car park will comprise the construction of bus bays on the eastern half of the proposed development, including deep drainage, and excavations for a fuel interceptor tank to a depth of approximately 4m. Finished levels for the site are up to 0.75m below present ground level. The proposed significant ground disturbance is likely to impact on the southern extent of Wellington Bridge Mill which includes the engine house, as well as back to back workers housing on John, Union and Henry Streets, especially if cellared. The archaeological work is required in order to fulfil the terms of an archaeological planning condition (ref DC/071417, dated 16th October 2019) attached to the planning permission for the development. |
