Abstract:		 Documents, maps and the historic built environment were examined in order to assess the survival of archaeological deposits, and to phase and date the historic buildings. The potential of the Study Area to contribute to an understanding of the historic development of this part of Birmingham was also evaluated. The Study Area contained evidence for the development of two watercourses from the medieval period to the early 19th century. There was evidence of industrial activity on the periphery of the town in the late 18th century in the form of osier pits used for basket-making. In the early 19th century this part of Birmingham saw its first phase of urban development when Thomas Gooch began to release land for speculative building. Two sets of buildings, one of which was statutorily Listed Grade II, represented the original phase of development towards the middle of the 19th century. They also illustrated the social and industrial history of this particular street block. It was concluded that the potential survival of typically urban 'islands' of archaeological deposits was likely to have been good across the Study Area. [Au(abr)]
