Abstract: |
In February 2006 Birmingham Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at the junction of Warner Street and Warwick Street, Bordesley, Birmingham (centred on NGR SP 0824 8602). The fieldwork was undertaken for the Midland Catering Company Limited in advance of a proposed residential development. A previous desk-based assessment highlighted the proximity of the site to the Bordesley High Street/Camp Hill Road junction, one of the main routes into the medieval core of Birmingham. The assessment suggested that archaeological evidence relating to the early development of Bordesley could survive within the proposed development area. Two trenches were excavated in the eastern part of the proposed development area to evaluate the potential for buried archaeological deposits and to inform the archaeological mitigation strategy which could be required in advance of development. The earliest features and deposits identified by trenching were related to an almshouse chapel, laid out in 1820-1. The remains of the brick built floor and wall footings of part of the chapel were encountered in the northeastern corner of the proposed development site. This structure had evidently been demolished in the 1970s at which time the ground level was raised by 1.2m. No features or finds of medieval date were recovered. |
