Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the course of groundworks associated with the construction of new retail units, offices, storage, and associated parking at Brunswick Road, Penrith, Cumbria. The watching brief targeted the footprint of a 19th century saw mill and the area of a 19th century carriage works. Structural elements relating to the saw mill and a boundary wall shown on the tithe map of 1845 were exposed but these will effectively be preserved in situ since the depth of excavation caused only minimal damage to underlying features. Much of the original structure of the carriage works, which was first constructed between 1891 and 1900, was also preserved below ground, including much of the north-west and the north-east elevation. What remained of the south-east elevation was also exposed, but this had been reduced to its foundations when the carriage works was extended between 1925 and 1938. The earliest features were located at the north-west end of the site and were probably associated with the 19th century timber yard. |
