Abstract: |
The report outlined the results of trial trenching and salvage recording on land formerly occupied by the Croft Street Industrial Estate. This work followed a desk-based assessment which highlighted the archaeological potential of the site due to its location near to the medieval settlement of Willenhall, and its situation within one of the lock making centres of the post-medieval industrial period. The site was found to have been largely disturbed by buildings, demolition, and changes in ground level over the last two centuries. However, significant industrial remains, and the presence of an air raid shelter on the site, reflected that the area had remained an important focus of production for around two hundred years.
