Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs to undertake Historic Building Recording and an Archaeological Watching Brief at the former County Arms Public House. The Site is situated on the corner of Leicester Road and Little Glen Road in Glen Parva, approximately 6km south of Leicester, at NGR 456825 298556. The standing building of the County Arms is a fairly typical example of an inter-war period public house incorporating domestic and function spaces alongside the bar areas. The building was constructed in two phases with considerable alterations to the interior spaces. Although historic map regression indicates the surveyed building was constructed on the site of an earlier building, no evidence was identified for the incorporation of any of its fabric within the new build. Internally there were occasional surviving fixtures and fittings relating to the original interior of the building, although none were exceptional in terms of quality or condition. No features were observed of significant historic interest so as to warrant further recording. The building gains significance as a heritage asset from the legibility of its architectural design and its dominant location on the junction of Leicester Road and Little Glen Road where it forms a landmark with associated community value. The archaeological watching brief largely encountered structures and deposits relating to the 1930s redevelopment of the Site. These comprised an earlier concrete paved area along the south of the area that had possibly been the original car park serving the pub, and a linear wall running parallel to it that may have served as a retaining wall supporting a terrace across the northern half of the current car park. Deposits dating to the later post-medieval period were exposed beneath the concrete slab although no features relating to the former use of the Site were observed.

Note:		 A4 Comb bound Report: This addendum is intended to be seen alongside the main archaeological report produced by Wessex Archaeology (2012), and replaces the earlier discussion on the results of the Watching Brief. The watching brief largely encountered structures and deposits relating to the 1930s redevelopment of the Site. These comprised structures and features related to the creation of a terrace and car park for the adjacent County Arms public house. Whilst deposits dating to the later post-medieval period were identified, no evidence for structures associated with Blaby Wharf was encountered. An overburden of demolition material associated with the clearance of the 1930s terrace arrangement covered the site.
