Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services for CgMs Consulting on behalf of Salhia Investments at the Beorma Quarter, Digbeth, Birmingham, between 12th December 2011 and 15th February 2012. This, the first of three planned phases of archaeological investigation on the site, targeted properties fronting Digbeth and Allison Street in the southeast corner of the development area and adjacent to Orwell Passage and the Digbeth Cold Store building. Phase 1 comprised three distinct areas of archaeological investigation. Area 1, located at the corner of Digbeth and Allison Street and south of Orwell Passage, targeted potential deposits beneath the recently-demolished frontage buildings, notably the town ditch. Area 2, north of Orwell Passage, sought to establish the character of archaeology on the Allison Street frontage. Finally, Area 3, located in the northwest corner of the site, north of the Cold Store and south of Orwell Passage, also aimed to trace the course of the town ditch in addition to rear yard activity. |
