| Abstract: |
The majority of archaeological preservation occurred to the far west of the site where natural shelving towards the river protected the early dock structures from later development and land levelling. It was likely that the earliest phase of wharf development recorded could have occurred as a direct result of the sites industrial development and the production of calico. The site continued to function as a wharf well into the 19th century and wharf structures appeared to respect the existing property boundaries when it was superseded by the development of a mill. Higher in the archaeological sequence were a series of timber boxes drains and an elm log water pipe, probably associated with the industrial management of this 19th century mill development.
