Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs, on behalf of HB Community Solutions Limited and Bolsterstone (Chesterfield) LLP (Planning Application Reference Number 10/12/0686) to carry out archaeological mitigation on the former site of Moorgate Mill, off Moorgate Street, Blackburn, Lancashire (hereafter 'the Site'). The site, centred at NGR 670 261, lies on Moorgate Street and is bounded by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to the north. Excavation and documentary research revealed numerous phases of rebuilding, renovation and extension in the development of the mill from its construction in the 1830s, through fires in 1869, 1886 and 1925, to its recent demolition. Artefacts recovered from the investigations, predominantly pottery, ceramics, glass and CBM appear to relate to the use of the site as a spinning and weaving mill from the 1840s through to the late 1920s. |
