Abstract: |
In January 2008, Birmingham Archaeology carried out a desk-based assessment of Stafford College, Earl Street, Stafford. The work was commissioned in advance of a proposed demolition and redevelopment of parts of the college. A search was made of all readily available published and unpublished documentary records, including maps, illustrations, and archaeological and geotechnical records, primarily at the Staffordshire County Records Office. Staffordshire Historic Environment Record was also consulted. In addition a walkover of the study area was undertaken in order to assess the topography and the standing buildings. The assessment revealed a site with a high potential for significant archaeological remains. The study area was located within the medieval city walls, in close proximity to the supposed site of a Norman Castle, and in the vicinity of a previous recent archaeological excavation which uncovered significant well preserved archaeological deposits dating from the Anglo-Saxon period onwards. It was therefore concluded that there was a high potential for the survival of medieval and post-medieval remains. |
