Abstract: |
The site of these mill buildings in an important silk manufacturing town in Easter Cheshire represent a chance to explore the extent and nature of building construction in the late 18th century and 19th century. In addition the earlier history of the post-medieval and even the medieval history of the site might have been revealed in the extensive excavations to create foundations for the restoration project. Despite the historical and archaeological potential of the site the area has revealed little evidence for the previous history of Congleton, but the building provided detailed evidence for its construction and management during the Industrial Revolution.
