Abstract: |
An archaeological building survey was required as a condition of a planning permission for the change of use of the Model Lodging House, Police Street, Darwen (SD 68918 22350) to a school for 300 pupils. The survey was carried out between 14 January and 27 March 2014 by J. M. Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy and the project was managed by Steven Baldwin Land Use Consultancy for ISG Construction Limited. The building was found to be a purpose-built lodging house constructed at the end of the 19th century by Darwen council to house local textile workers. It consisted of 2 three storey blocks linked by a single storey glazed atrium and with a two storey service block to the rear. Although appearing to be of stone, the survey revealed that it was a brick construction with a stone exterior surface. A brick built chimney confirmed that a basement boiler was used to supply heating although the Lodging House was said initially to have shared the supply with the nearby local authority swimming baths on the opposite side of Police Street on site of the modern leisure centre. |
