Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken at Tachbrook Road, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire (centred on NGR SP 3179 6484). It was undertaken on behalf of Willmott Dixon Housing Ltd, in advance of proposed re-development. The site lies about 400m from the historic core of Leamington. The assessment did not identify any prehistoric, Roman or early medieval remains on or near to the proposed development site. The site appears to have been in agricultural use from at least the medieval period until the mid 20th century, and it is likely to have formed part of the wider agricultural landscape of the village of Leamington Priors. Leamington grew rapidly as a Spa town in the 19th century. The site lay in the grounds of a 19th century private estate, which later became a girl's academy, and it remained unaffected by the surrounding development of the town. However by 1939 the school had closed and part of the site was in use as a recreation ground. By 1972 the whole site had been developed with terraced housing along Kingsway, Fetherston Court social housing, a public house on the corner of Tachbrook Road and Kingsway and an electricity substation, the construction of which involved terracing of the previous topography. It is concluded that there is a low potential for the survival of archaeological remains on the site. The proposed development will have an impact on the setting of part of Royal Leamington Spa Conservation Area, although the effect of this impact has not been established as it will depend on the final design of the development.
