Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology were commissioned on behalf of Northumbria Police Authority to carry out an Archaeological Watching Brief on the site proposed for the development of the new Newcastle Area Command Headquarters for Northumbria Police. This phase of monitoring followed from a Desk Based Assessment and Standing Building Recording undertaken on the site, and aimed to assess the archaeological survival on the site. Prior to the industrial period (the second half of the 18th century), there does not appear to have been any large scale development on the site. In the eighteenth century the area became one focus of the city's industrial activity. Along the burn were glass houses, lime kilns, a large brewery, a pottery and a foundry. Associated housing also grew up in the area. In the 19th century this area became associated with the growing railway industry and numerous associated buildings developed in the area and the property remains in use by the railway to the present day. The watching brief revealed a significant volume of made-ground in each of the five Trial Pits and the two Test Pits. No pre-nineteenth century deposits were encountered, although stretches of walling were revealed which likely relate to the railway structures depicted on the cartographic evidence. |
