Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The archaeological desk-based assessment and buildings appraisal for the factory located at 13 Hill Street Barwell, Leicestershire (SP 448 968), undertaken by ULAS on behalf of Savage Hayward Architects has shown that the proposed development area is located on the edge of the medieval village core of Barwell, with known prehistoric and Roman remains located to the south of the village. The factory, formerly known as the Crown Imperial Works, was constructed between 1903 and 1916 and was owned by the Ney Brothers, manufacturers of boots and shoes. The present buildings comprise a series of north light workshops, fronted by a range of three main factory buildings, facing out onto Hill Street, consisting of two connecting warehouses and a more elaborate office block, with stone ornamentation to the street elevation. The buildings are not listed and the site lies outside the Barwell B Conservation Area; however, the building has been recognised as an interesting example of the early 20th century industrial buildings that define the local landscape, reflecting the development of Barwell as an important centre of boot and shoe manufacture at this time. The application area lies outside the medieval village core of Barwell and a number of prehistoric and Roman sites are located to the south of the village. The potential for the presence of earlier archaeological deposits on the site itself is not known; no previous archaeological investigation has been carried out in the vicinity of the site.
