Abstract: |
In December 2011 demolition work was carried at The Garage, The Mines, Benthall, Shropshire, in order to prepare the site for redevelopment. Work commenced on the redevelopment in March 2012. The site lies in an area formerly occupied by a clay tobacco pipe factory, which started production in the 18th century and continued into the 20th century. A watching brief was maintained on the demolition of the existing structures. It was also a condition of the planning consent for the redevelopment of the site that this too be accompanied by a programme of archaeological work to comprise desk-based assessment and a watching brief. The Archaeology Service, Shropshire Council carried out this watching brief. The remains of part of a 19th-century kiln floor were recorded, indirectly associated with deposits of industrial waste, including pottery wasters and kiln furniture. |
