Abstract:		 Birmingham Archaeology was commissioned in January 2010 by Johnson Design Partnership of Bridgnorth, Shropshire to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment in respect of a proposed development site to the north of Wolverhampton city centre, adjacent to the St Peter's section of the Inner Ring Road. The assessment forms part of a wide-ranging feasibility study into a scheme, currently in development stages, for the creation of a themed pedestrian walkway, the 'Old Gold Route', designed to link the Molineux Football ground with the Wolverhampton railway station. The proposed scheme includes the creation of a tri-partite pedestrian footbridge spanning the St Peter's section of the inner ring road and it is this element of the scheme that formed the subject of the assessment. Previous archaeological work has shown that there is high potential for the survival of archaeological remains related to 18th and 19th century occupation, in particular to the buildings that occupied the area prior to the construction of the inner ring road. Although the residual potential for early archaeological remains cannot be ruled out altogether, based upon the current evidence and the results of prior investigations, the potential for buried remains related to early settlement is regarded as low. The most sensitive area of the proposed scheme is the south-eastern abutment of the footbridge which is located immediately west of the Harrison Learning Department building of the University of Wolverhampton. This lies adjacent to the former St Peter's overflow burial ground where previous archaeological work has recorded human burials, both within earth-cut graves and brick vaults.
