Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of a proposed development at the land to the rear of Front Street West, Bedlington. Seven evaluation trenches were excavated. Debris from the demolition of buildings were present across the site. A stone wall, probably relating to the railway sidings on the site, was identified in the north-west. Close to the street frontage, elements of walls relating to the buildings of a probable 19th century date were identified. These included part of a sandstone structure that may have been post-medieval in date. Trench 4 was rapidly backfilled when asbestos was encountered. One fragment of brown glazed stoneware found dated to the 18th or 19th century. This was recovered from Context 28, in Trench 2, and 44 fragments of floral patterned green glazed tiles were recovered from the fireplace area in Trench 2. These were dated to the 1930s and were discarded. [Au(adp)] |
