Abstract
'Hell upon Earth' ; The Archaeology of Angel Meadow
Manchester's phenomenal rise as the world's leading manufacturing centre brought a new industrial townscape that was dominated by steam-powered cotton mills, associated factories, warehouses, and swathes of low-cost housing built for the workers who flocked to the burgeoning town. The rejuvenation of twenty acres of land on the western edge of the city centre as part of the NOMA [North Manchester] regeneration project has enabled the evolution of this pioneering industrial townscape to be investigated archaeologically. In particular, excavations carried out by Oxford Archaeology North on behalf of The Co-operative Group have provided an insight into the development of workers' housing that once formed part of Angel Meadow, together with the remains of Manchester's earliest steam-powered cotton mill.
