Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken at 25-31 Carrs Lane, Birmingham (NGR SP 0731 8688). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting Ltd for their clients, Drivers Jonas LLP and Realis Estates Limited, who intend to construct a new hotel and retail unit for which a planning application is being submitted. The project aimed to investigate the presence and extent of potential medieval and post-medieval deposits noted in a previous evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group (AOC 2009b). It hoped to gain a better understanding of the noted deposits as well as investigating any structural elements that may have survived to help further expand our knowledge regarding the development of Birmingham. Two sherds of medieval pottery were recovered. The archaeological excavation demonstrated the presence of continual activity from the early post-medieval period to the present day, with evidence of small-scale 17th to 18th century industry being noted in the form of possible cloth dyeing and bone working. Environmental evidence indicated that this industrial activity was conducted within an area of waste ground. Substantial post-medieval landscaping was revealed with large quantities of imported material and industrial waste being used to remove the natural gradient of the site. Subsequently a number of brick buildings were built on the site in the 19th century. These were in use well into the 20th century. They were demolished after the Second World War during the redevelopment of the area, the last building being demolished as late as 1988.
