Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment and evaluation was carried out at 149-159 High Street Bordesley, Birmingham, for Pendragon PLC in advance of alterations and additions being carried out to the existing car showroom on the site. The study area is close to the centre of medieval Bordesley, and lies on the northeast side of High Street Bordesley, which has been the principal road leading east from Birmingham since the Middle Ages. Cartographic evidence shows that the study area has been built up since at least the mid-18th century. Three evaluation trenches were excavated one of which produced evidence of a substantial linear feature of possible medieval or early post-medieval date. A severely truncated clay and cobble filled gully, which was exposed in a trench adjacent to the High Street, might also have been of medieval or early post-medieval date. A deposit of hammerscale was also found in this trench and may be indicative of 17th and 18th century industrial activity in the vicinity. Evidence of 17th and 18th century brick structures, the function of which is at present uncertain, were found in all of the trenches.
