Abstract
Country pottery or leisure complex?
Philomena Jackson
1
A planning application approved in 1994 has important implications for the archaeology and surviving buildings of a rare Victorian pottery, the Wetheriggs Pottery near Penrith, Cumbria. This is a Scheduled site with some Listed Buildings. A new complex that will include a concert hall and garden centre is envisaged. The character and importance of the pottery are described, and it is stressed that any scheme granted permission must be sensitive to what it seeks to preserve. LD
Urban strategies; The end of RESCUE?
Patrick Ottoway
1 - 7
Describes the purpose and format of Urban Strategy documents, which are intended for integration within Local Plans. The programme will attempt to assign value to the various components of urban archaeological remains and so develop a rational basis for their management. The initiative follows publication of Planning Policy Guidance 16 (Archaeology and Planning) in 1990, and the 1992 English Heritage policy paper Managing the Urban Archaeological Resource. Studies undertaken in Cirencester and York are discussed; some problems in the proposed management programmes still remain to be resolved. Potential implications for research-led work following the integration of archaeological issues into the planning process are noted. LD
The Slate Quarries of Gwynedd
David Gwyn
Andrew Davidson
2 - 3
A two-year project funded by Cadw and undertaken by the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust aimed to create a scale of priorities against which the significance of quarrying landscapes might be assessed. This article summarises the background to the project, including the importance of the quarrying industry in North Wales, its decline in the early 20th century, and risks to surviving landscapes from the 1960s onwards. The main components of the project are then described, with Stage 2 comprising the identification of the total resource, to allow identification of features which might be recommended for statutory protection. Alternative approaches to meeting the archaeological needs of sites are also discussed. LD
Lincoln Central Library
M Jarvis
4 - 5
Archaeological investigations were undertaken by the City of Lincoln Archaeology Unit alongside redevelopment at the Lincoln Central Library site in the early 1990s. Investigation trenches within cellars allowed the alignment of the Roman city wall to be plotted. Evidence for occupation in the 9th to 10th centuries was also discovered. However, a Franciscan friary which occupied the site from about 1230 to 1539 was the main focus of the excavation. Preservation of the remains far exceeded expectations, with archaeological work uncovering a large area of the friary's southern range. Further monitoring of groundworks could reveal more of this important site. LD
Bristol's Medieval Defences
Reg Jackson
6
Evaluation of an extensive area within Bristol was undertaken by Bristol and Region Archaeological Services in order to inform design proposals for development. The Bristol Development Corporation needed to know the precise line of the 13th century defensive wall and tidal ditch known as the Portwall, as well as the position and size of any bastions and the exact location and site of Tower Harratz. These features were identified, and the Portwall was found to survive just below present ground level in some places. The evaluation also included work on a 19th century pottery and a clay tobacco pipe factory, and involved sampling post-medieval pottery and clay pipe kiln waste dumps. LD
Space --- The Final Frontier
Nina Crummy
7
Discusses issues surrounding the storage of archaeological site archives, particularly the associated costs faced by museums and the space required to store large volumes of material. There is concern that increasing numbers of museums will become unable to accept new archives or could initiate programmes of selection and dispersal or disposal. LD
