Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Shipley Leisure Enterprises at the former Scala Theatre, Crown Passage, Worcester (NGR SO 8488 5504; WCM98207). The excavation of eight test pits was monitored to locate and record any archaeological features. The watching brief revealed significant below-ground disturbance, probably affecting the survival of medieval and earlier material on the site. There appear to have been several episodes of dumping and levelling within the footprint of the building during the 18th and 19th centuries. However, two brick walls pertaining to earlier buildings on the site were located. They are likely to date from the late 17th and/or 18th century but both were heavily truncated.
