Abstract:		 In February 2005 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd carried out a survey of the former British Timken works at Duston, Northamptonshire. The work was undertaken in advance of redevelopment of the site and was required as a planning condition imposed by Northampton Borough Council. The scope of the project was primarily defined in discussions with the Conservation Officer and the programme included historical research, an account of the site and compilation of a photographic record. Its primary purpose is to satisfy the condition attached to the planning permission and consequently it is not intended to serve as a definitive history of the Duston works. Following agreement with the Conservation Officer and the client, the scope was widened, in order to allow consultation of a wider range of historical material and to seek accounts from former employees. Every effort has been made to consult as wide a range of sources as possible, but the original aims of the project did not allow for consultation of original company records, many of which may be held by The Timken Roller Bearing Company at Canton, Ohio. The report gives a brief account of the archaeological and historical background of the site and then traces the development of the works from the original construction in 1942 to closure in 2003. The principal buildings are then described and relevant cartographic and photographic material provided. Section 6 provides an account of the manufacturing process. Later sections discuss the Timken Show, the various social and sporting activities that took place. The report concludes with brief biographies of some of the principal people associated with the works.
