Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site. Little information was available for early periods but there was good documentary and recent archaeological evidence to suggest that Chesterton was a thriving settlement from at least Doomsday onwards. The presumed early road line from Arbury Camp (the old King's Hedges Road/Union Lane) passed along the northern edge of the site as Union Lane. Excavations further east along the same road found remains dating to the earlier medieval periods with residual material from the prehistoric and Roman periods. The Chesterton Union Workhouse was built on the site in 1838, becoming Chesterton Hospital in 1930. Additions were made but the central building remained largely untouched until the start of demolition early in 2000. [Au(adp)]
