Abstract: |
Hollis Croft remained undeveloped until the second quarter of the 18th century. Structures dating from this period were demolished during the mid-19th-century redevelopment of the Hollis Croft frontage and were replaced by the standing buildings. The extent to which the 18th-century structures in the remainder of the site were demolished or incorporated into later buildings is unclear. The site had been named Industry Place following its mid-19th-century redevelopment. However, it was known as the Toledo Works by 1890 and retained this name until at least 1974. Small tool manufacture had been recorded at the site in 1876 but the works were a cutlery manufacturers by 1888. Cutlery production continued at the site in 1922, but the works were then associated with bread platter production until the final quarter of the 20th century. The most significant sub-surface archaeological potential relates to an 18th-century building that stood in the work''s yard and a late 19th-century building and chimney that stood along the south-east site boundary. Following the demolition of these structures, their sites were not redeveloped. The survival of 18th- and 19th-century sub-surface archaeological deposits in these areas is thus considered to be good. |
