Abstract: |
In September 2003 Birmingham Archaeology carried out a desk-based assessment of a site in Birmingham City Centre lying to the north of Albert Street and Curzon Street and between Bartholomew Row to the west and the Digbeth Branch canal to the east. The study area remained rural in character until the mid 18th century. Housing development began to take place from around 1750, and the Digbeth Branch Canal was constructed in 1790. In the second quarter of the 19th century a railway goods and stable yard were buildt, and streets were laid out in a gridiron pattwern to accommodate houcsing. In the mid 20th century the eastern half of the area was developed for industrial units. |
