Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological excavation and building assessment was undertaken on behalf of Wolverhampton City Council, at a site on the corner of Rookery Street and Well Lane in Wednesfield (SJ 9430 0010). It is intended to construct an urban square and footpath link between Bentley Bridge and High Street. An archaeological evaluation of the area was undertaken in 2003 comprising a desk-based assessment of the entire area and trial trenching in one part of the site. In the present project, an area of 80m2 was opened around the pits recorded during the 2003 fieldwork. The footings of a brick building and two concrete surfaces were recorded 0.3m from ground level, below which one of the pits identified in the earlier evaluation was rediscovered. Around this feature an additional three small pits were also identified, one of which contained 18th century pottery. The fills of these three pits were similar and it is thought they may be roughly contemporary. Several further pits containing modern material including modern bricks and plastic were also recorded. To the southern edge of the opened area a large pit or ditch terminus was excavated - almost 2m deep, the feature contained five fills, including an organic layer at the base, and 18th century pottery. Pollen analysis indicates that the feature lay within an area of meadowland, pasture, and hedgebanks. The buildings of the development area dated primarily to the 20th century, of which the most interesting was a small brick structure dating to the inter war period. This may have been constructed as a military building or as an office of the 'Willenhall Metal Reclamation Co Ltd'. The building of most significance was the mid-late 19th century Temperance Hall, which in its later life it became the Tivoli Music Hall.
