Abstract: |
The archaeological observation undertaken by Border Archaeology at the extreme southern end of the residential development site at St Thomas's Street, Upper Tean, Staffordshire revealed evidence of post-medieval archaeological features consisting of a brick-lined well and the foundation of a building orientated roughly north-south and a small quantity of associated late post-medieval pottery. Both of these features are probably of late 18th/19th century date and associated with workers' housing provided for the employees of the Phillips tape weaving factory located to the south of the site. During the topsoil strip carried out in the central western area of the site, a fragment og a gravestone of probable mid-late 19th century date was located lying on the surface. It is likely that this came from the disused burial ground of the former Providence Chapel (built 1822) located immediately to the west of the site. No other features, finds or deposits of archaeological significance were identifed during this programme of archaeological observation. |
