Abstract:		 A programme of building recording and archaeological monitoring took place on land behind number 26 Bear Street, Barnstaple, Devon, in advance of the construction of 11 affordable dwellings, together with the conversion of the commercial premises of a 19th century seed merchant. The evaluation trenches at the rear of the property, beneath the concrete floors of a steel portal-framed storage building, uncovered a great thickness of recent late 19th or 20th rubble sealing a Victorian garden/orchard soil. An evaluation trench following the line of existing services through the building cut through two late or early post-medieval soil layers, which had themselves been cut by a series of probable pits. A surprisingly large amount of medieval and early post-medieval pottery was recovered. The building survey demonstrated that the extant structures were all built since 1843 and that nine phases of expansion and construction could be identified between 1843 and 1905. The owners of the property (W and J Hutchings in the later 19th century) continually expanded the premises both to the west and north, and vertically, adding a 2nd storey to the buildings in the later 19th century. Some care was taken to marry the appearance of this building with the rebuilt street frontage. Internally, many of the machines related to grain cleaning and preparation survived in situ, including a Eureka Separator No.3.
