Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was carried out in September 2002 by Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit in advance of the proposed re-development of 170 High Street, Deritend in Birmingham City Centre by Andrews Construction. The proposed development site covers the majority of the northern part of the street block defined by High Street Deritend, the River Rea, Bradford Street, Birchall Street and Stone Yard (NGR. SP 0780/8629). The proposed development site probably contains below-ground remains of former channels of the River Rea, evidence for the deliberate culverting of the river in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and deposits relating to the eighteenth and nineteenth century industries in this area. It is thought that the proposed development site is too far south of the original line of High Street, Deritend to contain substantial remains of any causeway which formerly carried the routeway over the River Rea. |
