Abstract: |
During February 2007 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 42-52 Diglis Road, Worcester. The work was required to investigate the canal side development of the Diglis Basin area and any earlier settlement of the Frog Brook valley particularly relating to the Roman road layout and past environmental conditions. Four 10m trenches were mechanically opened and a sequence of canal related development was identified. During the excavation of the canal basin up-cast clay was spread over the site to a depth of c.1.0m. The earliest construction work identified was the laying down of a cobbled yard surface over part of the site possibly associated with a millwrights warehouse which was constructed sometime before 1838. During the next 100 years additional buildings were added and existing buildings modified during the 19th and 20th centuries, until the final layout recorded was established prior to them being demolished to make way for the proposed development. No evidence to indicate occupation earlier than the 19th century was observed. |
